Chapman showed via careful experiments that male accessory gland proteins are re-sponsible for lower female survival
Imagine that instead of the proteins it was the physical act of mating itself that reduced the longevity of females. The graph below shows Chapman's results for treatment 2. What would you expect the data for the other three treatments to look like if it was on-ly the physical act of mating that had an effect on female longevity? For each treatment use +, –, or = to indicate increased, lowered, or the same survival probability when compared to treatment 2. See figure legend for an explanation of the experimental treatments.
A. __ Treatment 1
B. __ Treatment 3
C. __ Treatment 4
