Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

E.coli is a bacterium that reproduces quickly and produces many offspring, which are common traits of r-selected species. The other options, such as k-selected and type I, are associated with slow reproductive rates and a focus on producing few offspring with high survival rates. The logarithmic type-curve and type IV are not applicable to the classification of species based on reproductive strategies.
