Answer;

C) A positive feedback loop.

Explanation;

-Biological systems operate on a mechanism of inputs and outputs, each caused by and causing a certain event. A feedback loop is a biological occurrence in which the output of a system amplifies the system (positive feedback) or inhibits the system (negative feedback)

-Oxytocin is controlled by a positive feedback mechanism where release of the hormone causes an action which stimulates more of its own release. When contraction of the uterus starts, for example, oxytocin is released which stimulates more contractions and more oxytocin to be released.

To measure the population density of monarch butterflies occupying a particular park, 100 butterflies are captured, marked with
Sav [38]

Answer:

Given merely 40 butterflies were marked, assumed that there were multiple captures of both marked and unmarked butterflies, that the butterflies caught in traps were on the loose to be caught again. There are two mathematical solutions for this, both yielding the same answer which is 100. 

• First, to each marked butterfly was taken twice (40 marked X2 = 80 captured) then of the unmarked butterflies the 120 captured must relate to 60 actual butterflies. In which 40 + 60 = 100. 

• Secondly, by means of ratios in which 80/200 = 40/X. In this case X also = 100 that will result to the estimated size of the population of wilson park is 100.
