The graph below shows the relationships of per capita population growth rate (r), fecundity (b) and age at first reproduction `(alpha)` in an animal speies What is the most important conclusion to be drawn from the graph ?A. The population growth rate decreases as first reproduction in postponed to a later stage, regardless of fecundityB. At any `alpha`, the higher the fecundity the higher is the population growth rate achievedC. As the age at first reproduction is postponed further, the benefits of increasing fecundity on the population growth rate become progressively negligibleD. None of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Fecundity is the reproductive output, usually of an individual or number of offspring produced or the capacity of reproduction . In the given curve, the population growth rate decreases as first reproduction is postponed to a later stage regardless of fecundity. |
