Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "precocial" refers to organisms that are born with a degree of maturity and are immediately able to move and take care of themselves. This is in contrast to "altricial" organisms, which are born relatively undeveloped and require a period of care and nurturing before they can move and feed independently. Semelparous and iteroparous refer to reproductive strategies and are not relevant to the question.
