Answer:

The least likely likely given the limits of fitness trade-offs is the eggs from the female laying 1000 eggs have larger yolks than the yolks of the eggs from the female laying 100 eggs.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

  • For the female fish breeding, the number of eggs laid may differ but it doesn’t give the proper information if the female laying less eggs contains more yolk.
  • Given that, the same fitness factor, the number of eggs laid does not mean level of concentration of yolk in the eggs.
