At a nearby lake, a couple of scientists want to approximately how many fish live in the lake. The scientists will use the Mark and Recapture Sampling method to estimate the size of the population.

First the scientists capture 35 fish in their nets. They Mark these fish with a tag, and release them back into the lake.
The scientists return the next day and Capture 30 more fish. 5 of these fish are the marked Recaptured fish from the previous day.

Use the Mark and Recapture equation to estimate the number of fish in the lake total.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Mark and Recapture equation used to estimate the number of fish in the lake is:

N = (C1 x C2) / R

Where:

N = estimated population size

C1 = number of fish captured in the first sample

C2 = number of fish captured in the second sample

R = number of fish recaptured in the second sample

Given the information provided, we can plug in the numbers:

N = (35 x 30) / 5

N = (1050) / 5

N = 210

So the estimated population size of fish in the lake is 210.

a. Blood glucose decreases to normal.
b. Blood glucose increases to normal.
c. Liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose to the blood.
d. Liver takes up glucose and stores it as glycogen.
e. Pancreas releases glucagon.
f. Body cells take up more glucose.

Answers

Answer:

c. Liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose to the blood.

Explanation:

Living system can be defined as the internal systems found in living organisms and how various materials are circulated inside organisms.

Generally, these living systems are self-organized life forms and are known to be very much interactive with their surroundings or environment. Also, living systems are dependent on the flow of information, matter and energy at various levels.

Some examples of living systems in organisms are respiratory system, nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system.

Additionally, living systems comprises of the following components; cells, organs, muscle, tissues, blood, etc.

Organs can be defined as specialized body tissues united to perform specific functions in living organisms. Some examples of organs found in humans are brain, bladder, kidney, heart, intestine, eyes, lungs, liver, etc.

A liver refers to a large, essential organ that is reddish-brown in color which is used to synthesize proteins, secrete bile, and the detoxification of metabolites.

Glycogenolysis can be defined as a process which typically involves the breaking down of the primary carbohydrates (glycogen) present in liver into glucose so as to maintain blood glucose rates and provide necessary energy for living organisms.

Hence, the true statement is that liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose to the blood.

1. Tell what type of interaction is being performed by the following pairs of
organisms. (Commensalism, Mutualism, Competition, Parasitism and
Predation)
6. aphid and rose plant
9. butterflies and flowers
10. birds and worms
7. lion and buffalo
8. coral reefs and fishes​

Answers

Answer:

6. Parasitism

9. mutualism

10. predation

7. predation

8. mutualism

Explanation:

Living organisms, in their natural habitat, forms certain relationships with one another. These relationships are as follows:

- Mutualism is the association of two organisms in which both organisms benefits from one another in the relationship. Example is butterfly and flower in this question, where the butterfly helps pollinate the flower while the plants provide food source for the butterfly. Another example is coral reefs and fishes where the fishes and coral depend on one another.

- Predation is the kind of relationship in which one living organism called PREDATOR kills and feeds on another called PREY. Examples are the relationship between birds and worms, lion and buffalo where the bird and lion are predators while worm and buffalo are preys.

- Parasitism is the relationship between two organisms in which one organism called PARASITE lives on and derive nourishments from another organism called HOST. In the example of aphid and rose plant where the aphid is the parasite and rose plant is the host.

The type of interaction that is being performed by the following pairs of

organisms include the following:

Aphid and rose plant - ParasitismButterflies and flowers - MutualismBirds and worms- PredationLion and buffalo - PredationCoral reefs and fishes - Mutualism

Aphid and rose plant have a parasitic relationship due to the aphids taking

up vital nutrients from the rose plant thereby resulting in distorted growth.

Butterflies and flowers have a mutualistic relationship as the butterfly aids

pollination of the flowers and also derives food and juice in return.

Birds and worms have a predatory relationship as the birds eat worms for

food and survival.

Lion and buffalo  have a predatory relationship as the Lions eat buffalos for

food and survival.

Coral reefs and fishes have a mutualistic relationship as the fishes aids

reproductive ability of the coral reefs while the fishes benefit food and habitat in return.

when CuSO4dissolved in water, no chemical reaction takes place since no new substance is getting formed.Thus it is a physical change. The dissolution of Zinc granules in dil.

Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included both dark, rocky lava outcrops and light, rocky, granite areas. They recorded substrate color, and coat-color frequencies for each location. Each site was separated from any of the others by at least eight kilometers. The researchers trapped a total of 275 mice. Their data are summarized below (numbers have been slightly modified for the purposes of this worksheet).

5. Which fur color seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage?
6.What environmental change gave a selective advantage for one coat color over another?
7. In a separate study, 76 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Arizona. The other three were in New Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three New Mexico locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Arizona population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 76 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Arizona mice were absent from the three different populations of New Mexico mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the New Mexico populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases. How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
8. To determine if the rock pocket mouse population is evolving, explain why it is necessary to collect fur color frequency data over a period of many years.

Answers

Answer:

1)

frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

q² = 0.74p² = 0.02 2pq = 0.24      

4)

q² = 0.13p² = 0.42pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

how is the law of mendelian inheritance violated in down's syndrome

Answers

Answer:

According to the Law of segregation presented by Mendel, each gamete receives just one copy of every allele randomly. Normally all the cells follow the Mendelian inheritance.

In Down's syndrome, an individual gets 3 copies of a chromosome instead of the normal chromosome pair. This is also known as trisomy 21. It does not follow the law of segregation of Mendelian inheritance as it gets three instead of two.
