Question

which term describes species that produce many offspring quickly with little or no parental care? specialized species stable species k - selected species r - selected species

Explanation:

• Specialized species: These are species that are adapted to specific environments or niches. They do not necessarily have the characteristic of producing many offspring quickly with little parental care.
• Stable species: This is a rather broad and non - specific term. It does not directly relate to the reproductive strategy described in the question.
• K - selected species: K - selected species typically have fewer offspring, invest more in parental care, and are more adapted to stable environments.
• r - selected species: r - selected species are known for having a high reproductive rate (producing many offspring quickly) and providing little or no parental care. This reproductive strategy is often seen in species that live in unstable or unpredictable environments.

Answer:

r - selected species
