Question

what do we call the type of survivorship curve that involves the organism having many, many offspring because most offspring die early in life? type 3 type 1

Explanation:

Type III (r - strategists) survivorship curves are characterized by high fecundity (many offspring) and high early - life mortality. Organisms with this type of curve produce a large number of offspring because most of them die early. In contrast, Type I (K - strategists) have low fecundity and low early - life mortality, with most individuals surviving to old age. Type II has a relatively constant mortality rate throughout life.

Answer:

Type 3
