Question
### Image Transcription and Analysis **Image Description:** The image consists of a title and three sets of graphs illustrating the relationships between age and various biological metrics in different species. Below the graphs are multiple-choice options with one highlighted. *Title:* "According to the graphs on the right" **Graphs:** 1. **(a) Birds - Fledging and Survival:** - *Left Graph:* Shows the "Number fledged" against "Age (years)" for birds. The graph is a bell-shaped curve, peaking at age 3. - *Right Graph:* Displays the "Probability of survival" against "Age (years)" for birds. The survival probability remains relatively stable across different ages. 2. **(b) Deer - Clapping and Survivorship:** - *Left Graph:* Plots "Mean claps per year" against "Age (years)" for stags and hinds. Stags show a steep increase and decrease, peaking approximately at age 10. Hinds have a more gradual rise and fall. - *Right Graph:* Shows the "Number of survivors" against "Age (years)" separately for stags and hinds. Both lines show a downward trend, with the stags and hinds both showing declines in survivorship with age. 3. **(c) Flies - Egg Production and Survivorship:** - *Left Graph:* Depicts "Mean eggs per day" against "Age from start of assay (days)" demonstrating a rapid decline in egg production as age increases. - *Right Graph:* Illustrates "Number alive" against "Adult age (days)," showing a decline in survival over time. **Multiple-Choice Question:** The following options are given to interpret the graphs: - ○ surviorship increases with age when young but then decreases w/age - ○ reproductive ability increases with age when young but then decreases w/age - ● survivorship declines with age - ○ reproductive ability declines with age **Correct Answer:** - The option "survivorship declines with age" is highlighted, indicating it is the correct interpretation of the data across the graphs for different species. ### Explanation: The graphs collectively demonstrate patterns in survivorship and reproductive ability across different species. The highlighted correct answer indicates a key observation: despite some variations in reproductive patterns, survivorship generally declines with age across different species depicted in the graphs.
