Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Precocial young typically require less parental care, which means that the male can potentially mate with multiple females without being burdened by parental duties. This makes polygyny more likely. Monogamy (A) and polyandry (C) are less likely because the male does not need to invest as much in parental care if the young are already self-sufficient. Altricial (D) refers to offspring that are born helpless and require extensive parental care.
