Question

which of the reproductive strategies discussed (r selective vs. k selective) does the human species follow? r - selective k - selective rewatch

Explanation:

• r - selective species: These species have a high reproductive rate but offer little parental care. They produce a large number of offspring, but many of them may not survive due to lack of resources or protection. Examples include insects and some small mammals.
• k - selective species: These species have a low reproductive rate but invest a significant amount of time and resources in parental care. They produce fewer offspring, but each offspring has a higher chance of survival. Humans fall into this category as we have a relatively low birth rate compared to r - selective species and provide extensive care to our children.

Answer:

k - selective
