What do you notice about human survivorship in 2010 compared to 1910? Multiple Choice In 1910, humans had Type II survivorship, but in 2010 they had Type I. There was greater difference in survivorship between the sexes in 2010. The difference between 2010 and 1910 is due entirely to better health care of the elderly. Humans in 1910 tended to live longer than those in 2010.

Why does the population of tree snails experience a drop after the initial increase? 000 snails were not adapted to living in captivity authors attribute the increase of genetic diversity to the population drop a viral infection decimated the snail population in 2009 and consecutive years a genetic bottleneck led to reduced genetic diversity and fecundity
