Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.

Part A Why are Northeast Pacific populations of transient and resident killer whales thought to represent different ecotypes rat

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Transient killer whales prey on marine mammals, while resident killer whales prey on Chinook salmon

Explanation:

Remember, the term "ecotypes" is used to refer specifically to the observable differences found in the various kinds of whales, which includes their breeding populations, their language of communication, social structure, the type of food they eat, and their hunting behavior.

Thus, in the case of transient and resident killer whales in the Northeast Pacific, they are thought to represent different ecotypes rather than different species the Transient killer whales prey (feed) on marine mammals, while resident killer whales prey on Chinook salmon. Also, whales are generally thought to belong to the same species.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of genes whose function is to codify proteins that participate in the immune response, helping the system to recognize foreign substances to develop an immune response.

Histocompatibility or compatibility of tissue is given by self-identifications molecules (antigens) located on the surface of cells, membrane, these molecules are almost unique to each person, letting the body to distinguish self from non-self.
