ADensity limit
BRapid growth
CSemelparity
DIteroparity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Semelparity
1. Life histories differ in how often reproduction happens.
2. Semelparity occurs when a species reproduces only once during its lifetime.
3. The organism then dies.
4. Iteroparity describes species that reproduce repeatedly during their lives.
