Question

In a survivorship curve, a type III species, like most insects and plants, is a species that has Group of answer choices an extremely long life span. a strong possibility of becoming extinct in a relatively short period of time. an equal probability of dying at any age. the highest probability of dying as it reaches its maximum life span. the highest probability of dying at a very young age.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - the highest probability of dying at a very young age.

Step-by-step explanation:

A type III survivorship curve represents species such as insects and plants where the individuals will live their life span to adulthood and die as they get older due to the greatest mortality for such individuals of certain species is experienced early in life. There will be a concave curve on a graph in type 3 species curve of survivorship. Therefore, there is very high chances of such species to die at very young age.
