Question

You observe two breeding female fish of the same species. One female lays 100 eggs and the other female lays 1,000 eggs. Which one of the following outcomes is most likely, given the limits of fitness trade-offs? A. The female laying 1,000 eggs breeds more often than the female laying 100 eggs. B. The female laying 100 eggs lives longer than the female laying 1,000 eggs. C. The eggs from the female laying 1,000 eggs have larger yolks than the yolks of the eggs from the female laying 100 eggs. D. The female laying 100 eggs is larger than the female laying 1,000 eggs.

Answer 1

The correct option is (C) The eggs from the female laying 1,000 eggs have larger yolks than the yolks of the eggs from the female laying 100 eggs.

The sequence of survival and reproduction events characteristic for a member of the species is known as the life history of the species (essentially, its lifecycle).

• Natural selection drives the evolution of life cycle patterns, which are a "optimization" of trade-offs between growth, survival, and reproduction.
• The quantity of eggs laid by female fish during reproduction may vary, but it doesn't provide accurate information if the eggs from the female that lays less eggs have more yolk.
• Given that the fitness factor remains the same, the quantity of eggs laid does not necessarily correspond to the amount of yolk in the eggs.
