The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Organisms that breed many times during their lifetime and produce a small number of large-sized offspring are," we can analyze the given options step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Characteristics We need to identify organisms that: 1. Breed multiple times during their lifetime. 2. Produce a small number of offspring. 3. The offspring are large in size. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options Let's evaluate each option provided: - **Pacific Salmon Fish**: - They breed only once in their lifetime (semelparity). - This option does not meet the criteria. - **Mammals**: - Mammals typically breed multiple times throughout their lives. - They usually produce a small number of offspring (e.g., one or two at a time) and these offspring are relatively large compared to other species. - This option meets both criteria. - **Oysters**: - Oysters produce a large number of eggs at once (many offspring). - This option does not meet the criteria. - **Pelagic Fishes**: - Similar to oysters, pelagic fishes often release a large number of eggs at once. - This option does not meet the criteria. ### Step 3: Conclusion From the analysis, the only organism that meets both criteria of breeding many times and producing a small number of large-sized offspring is **Mammals**. ### Final Answer **Mammals** are the organisms that breed many times during their lifetime and produce a small number of large-sized offspring. ---
