Question

what type of pattern is seen in type 2 (constant loss) survivorship? a gradual and steady decline a severe up and down pattern high survivorship to old age very early and sharp losses

Explanation:

Type 2 (Constant Loss) survivorship is characterized by a relatively constant mortality rate throughout the lifespan. This results in a gradual and steady decline in the number of survivors over time. In contrast:

• A severe up - and - down pattern is not typical of survivorship curves which are more about long - term trends of survival.
• High survivorship to old age is characteristic of Type 1 (Convex) survivorship curves.
• Very early and sharp losses are seen in Type 3 (Concave) survivorship curves.

Answer:

a gradual and steady decline
