TFR is the average number of children each woman must have to replace the current population.
TFR is generally higher in developed countries than in developing countries

I. They produce many offspring in a short period of time.
II. They have very low survivorship early in life.
III. They take a long time to reach reproductive maturity.
Which curve best describes an organism that invests a lot of energy in parenting?
Even if a country reduces its birth rate and maintains replacement-level fertility, its population will still continue to grow for several decades because of
lower death rates
increased income.
population momentum
better health care.
increased life expectancy.

Tracks organisms that tend to live long lives (low death rate and high survivorship rate); toward the end of their life expectancies, however, there is a dramatic increase in the death rate. (type I = blue line, type II = red line, type III = green line, type IV is none of the lines)
Type I
Type II
Type III
Type IV
Describes organisms with a high death rate (or low survivorship rate) immediately following birth. Examples include bacteria, fishes, and invertebrates. (type I = blue line, type II = red line, type III = green line, type IV is none of the lines)
