Answer:
b. typify a population in which all ages have an equal chance of surviving. → YES
e. are typical of annual plants → YES
Explanation:
Different species have survival curves differently shaped. In general terms, there are three different survival curves.
- Type I. Mortality often occurs at the end of the cycle, representing species with low mortality. Organisms exhibiting this type of survivorship curve have long cycles of life and high probabilities to survive until they are old enough. These species have few descendants and spend too much time and energy in parental care to ensure their reproductive success.
- Type II. The probabilities of dying are equals all along the cycle, at any age interval. The number of dead individuals remains constant from the beginning to the end of the life cycle. These species have reduced offsprings, and they ensure their reproductive success by providing some significant parental care.
- Type III. Significant mortality during the early stages of life. Only a few individuals reach the later life stages, getting to survive their first period of life. Survivors usually have a long life. These species produce big offsprings at the same time, but they provide little or no parental care. Their reproductive success relies on the number of descendants.
Type II survivorship curves:
a. are characteristic of humans and elephants → No, this is Type I curve
b. typify a population in which all ages have an equal chance of surviving. → YES
c. indicate a high mortality rate in the very young. → No, this is Type III curve
d. show that very few young are produced, that each is given parental support, and that most individuals live a relatively long life and die of old age. → No, this is Type I curve
e. are typical of annual plants → YES
Anti-bodies. This is not a hard question to answer, as you can just copy/paste the question into a search engine to get an adequate answer.
I believe the answer would be B. someone correct me if I'm wrong.
