Type IVarrow_forwardFor each organism, create a survivorship curve by plotting the given information in a line graph. Title each graph "Survivorship Curve for [name of organism]." The y-axis should be labeled "Survivorship" and contain low, medium, and high indicators. The x-axis should be labeled "Life Span" and contain young, middle-aged, and old indicators. Andean condors reproduce slowly. Females lay one or two eggs every other year. The offspring that hatch are well-protected and cared for, and many reach sexual maturity at five to six years. Although their numbers are being threatened by human impacts, they are naturally long-lived, surviving for seventy to seventy-five years.arrow_forwardFor the unicorn shrimp population shown in the cohort life table below, what type of survivorship curve best describes this population?
