which sentences describe a survivorship curve?

it shows the number of individuals living at each age interval plotted versus time. it divides only one organism’s population into age groups to show how long the members of each age group will live. it to compare life histories of different populations. you can compare the life histories of birds, frogs, and humans at the same time. it is also known as a mortality table.

It shows the number of individuals living at each age interval plotted versus time.

It helps to compare life histories of different populations.

You can compare the life histories of birds, frogs, and humans at the same time.

Explanation:

A survivorship curve can be described as a graph which illustrates how many individuals survive to a certain age in a given population. A survivorship curve can also be used to study life histories of different organisms. For example, you can illustrate the life history of birds, frog and humans in a population compared to each other in a survivorship curve.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
