For a species with a Type II curve, less than ____% of individuals survive for 50% of the maximum life span. At 50% of maximum l
slava [35]

10% is the answer.

In contrast, the Type II curve describes birds, mice, and other organisms characterized by relatively constant mortality or survival throughout life.

Type II. Many bird species have a type II survival curve. On the Type II curve, organisms die almost evenly at each age interval. Organisms with this type of survival curve also have relatively few offspring and can provide important parental care.

The Type II survival curve shows near-constant mortality throughout the life of the species. This means that the probability of an individual dying is independent of age. The Type II survival curve is plotted as a diagonal down the graph.
