Question

which of the following species is most likely to provide extensive parental care to its offspring? a oyster number of fertilized eggs produced per year 5,000,000,000 b fish number of fertilized eggs produced per year 8,000 c rabbit number of fertilized eggs produced per year 12 d bobcat number of fertilized eggs produced per year 2

Explanation:

Parental care is often inversely related to the number of offspring. Species that provide extensive parental care typically have fewer offspring. The bobcat has the fewest fertilized eggs (2), suggesting more resources (including parental care) are allocated to each offspring.

Answer:

D. Bobcat
