Chapter 43.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To write:
Type I survivorship curve is expected in trematodes.
Introduction:
Survivorship curve is a graphic illustration of the count of individuals in a population or inhabitants that can be expected to live to any definite age. There are 3 general patterns of survivorship curves which are simply termed to as Type I, Type II, and Type III.
Trematoda is a clade or class within the Platyhelminthes. It contains 2 groups of parasitic or bloodsucking
