help out please for number 1 and 2 1. 2. An extinct species of dinosaur was thought to only have 1-2 offspring at a time. Based on this information and your knowledge of life history traits, you predict that the species also: had low levels of parental care. had a low risk of mortality at a young age. reached sexual maturity at an early age. was very short lived. All of the above. Which of the following would be considered...
Populations grow when the number of births in a population is greater than the number of deaths in the same population and there is no net movement of individuals into or out of the population. This is to say that all else being equal, populations grow when the birth rate exceeds the death rate and shrink when death rates exceed birth rates. When the number of births is equal to the number of deaths in a population, and again, there...

7. Which pattern of survivorship is most likely for an organism such as the penguin, which produces only a single offspring at a time, provides a lot of parental care and has a relatively long lifespan? Most offspring survive for most of their potential life span and then die at approximately the same time. The probability of death due to natural causes is high throughout the life span. Survivorship is low early in life and then levels off. Young individuals have a...
