Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

K-strategists are characterized by a slow rate of reproduction, longer life spans, and a focus on producing few offspring with high investment in their care. This strategy is advantageous in stable environments, but less adaptable to rapid changes, making them less flexible than r-strategists. Genetic diversity and rate of evolution are not defining features of the K-strategy.
