Answer:Human Plant Animal

Step-by-step explanation:

By plotting the number of survivors per 1,000 individuals on a log scale versus time, three basic patterns emerge (Pearl 1944, Deevey 1947; Figure 1). Individuals with Type I survivorship exhibit high survivorship throughout their life cycle. Populations with Type II survivorship have a constant proportion of individuals dying over time. Populations with Type III survivorship have very high mortality at young ages. Most real populations are some mix of these three types. For example, survivorship of juveniles for some species is Type III, but is followed by type II survivorship for the long-lived adults.
