A biologist marked 200 mice, by putting leg bands on them, out of a forest containing an unknown number of mice. The marked mice

were then returned to the forest for 6 months to mix thoroughly. 250 mice were later trapped and 40 of them were found to have leg bands. What is the estimated population size of the mice in this forest

Answer: The estimated population is 1250 mice

Explanation: The method use was marked and recapture, in which individuals are marked in the first capture and after some time biologist trap a new group of individuals that can be or not marked

Whit this data is possible to estimate the size of a population applying the Peterson method but is important to make some considerations such as:

1. All indivuals have the same probability to be capture

2, The population remain constant in terms of birth and death rate.

Taking this into account, the formula that allows to determine the size of the population is:

N=CM / R  

where N is the size of the population, C is number of indivuals trapped in recapture, M is number of individuals marked in the first capture and R is the number of marked animals trapped in recapture

In this case:

N = 250 * 200 / 40 = 1250

maria [59]

Answer:1.c 2.d 3. d

Explanation:

The DNA hyperchromic effect can be defined as the absorbance of radiation or light by the nitrogen bases of DNA. This phenomena is effective when the DNA is in single stranded condition. For observing the hyperchormic effect the DNA is required to be denatured at high temperature or by increasing the level of pH.

The two strands of the DNA when get separated the absorbance of the DNA solution also increases. This results due to reduction in the base-base interaction and hence, increases the absorbance of light like UV by the bases.

specific example of a conflict that might occur due to individualism and collectivism. Explain briefly.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The very definitions of ‘individualism’ and ‘collectivism’ are, by themselves, ideological definitions.

Reality shows us that these two ‘ideologies’ are pragmatically practiced, with one or the other being the policy-making ideology. We have already seen the results of

collectivism, as gruesomely displayed during the 75 year life of the ‘late’ Soviet Union, and the CONTINUING forms of that totalitarian collectivism in the People’s Republic of China and North Korea.

Tiananmen Square in China was the classic confrontation conflict

of the individual dissidents against the tyrannical Chinese State.

The United States, Australia, and some of the European states tend to exhibit MORE individualism by virtue of their democratic forms of government. There is NO ‘ pure individualism’ anywhere on Earth, as all national populations have their civic codes and regulations governing individual behavior.

Philosophically AND practically speaking, it is ALWAYS the individual that will be oppressed by the governing state[collectivism] - I know of NO instance -ever -where any individual person oppressed an established government.

Gas exchange
Andre45 [30]

Question: Below is a list of functions performed by organisms. Examine the list, then answer the question that follows.

gas exchange

intake of nutrients

disposal of wastes

stimulus response

reproduction

How do these functions compare between single-celled and multi-celled organisms?

A. Single-celled organisms can perform all of these functions, while multi-celled organisms can perform only some of these functions.

B. Single-celled organisms must perform all of these functions with one cell, while multi-celled organisms can have specialized cells for different functions.

C. Single-celled organisms can perform only some of these functions, while multi-celled organisms can perform all of these functions.

D. Neither single-celled organisms nor multi-celled organisms can perform all of these necessary functions.

Answer:

Option B, Single-celled organisms must perform all of these functions with one cell, while multi-celled organisms can have specialized cells for different functions.

Explanation:

All these functions are performed by both single celled and multi-cellular organism. A single cell has several microscopic organelles that performs specific functions while a multi - celled organism has different body organs/tissues to perform specialized function separately.

A cell exchange gas through the cellular membrane, intake nutrients through engulfing, dispose waste by lysosomes, stimulus response by sensory hairy structure and reproduction through cell division

Hence, option B is correct.
