  • Card 7 / 12:
    Why is long-term parental care not associated with having many offspring during a reproductive episode?

    Parental care is not feasible for organisms having many offspring because they do not have the energy available to take care of offspring. Most of their energy budget is used in the formation of seeds or offspring, so there is little left for parental care. Also, the sheer number of offspring would make individual parental care impossible.
