Describe the three types of survivorship curves and relate them to specific populations

What is the key characteristic of a population exhibiting a type II survivorship curve? large numbers of small offspring all individuals of all ages have an equal chance of dying younger individuals have a greater chance of survival younger individuals are more likely to die than other individuals
