You conduct a mark-recapture survey of eastern fence lizards (Sceloporus undulates) in a 2-hectare plot in eastern Arizona. You

mark 250 lizards and are able to recapture 75, of which 24 are marked. What is the estimated size of the population of fence lizards in this plot? Calculate the estimated population size for the plot. Use the following formula: M/N = R/C where M is the number of initially marked individuals, N is the population size, R is the number of recaptured marked individuals, and C is the total number of individuals recaptured.
a. 80 b. 7.2 c. 781.3 d. 250 e. 24

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given -

Total number of initially marked lizards (M) = 250

Total number of recaptured lizards (C) = 75

Total number of recaptured marked lizards (R) = 24

As we know that -

\frac{M}{N} = \frac{R}{C}

We have to find "N" . "N" is the total population size of lizards in a 2-hectare plot in eastern Arizona.

Thus, on rearranging the above equation, we get -

N = \frac{M * C}{R}

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

N = \frac{250 * 75}{24} \\N = 781.25\\N = 781.3

Hence, option C is correct

The answer would be A. 500g because the candle would not lose mass despite being melted. Melting the candle is only a physical change and not a chemical change resulting in no change in the mass.

What two types of amino acid sequences are needed in a protein to mediate post-translational farnesylation?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Post translation farnesylation may be defined as a type of prenylation in which the isoprenyl group is added to the cysteine residues of the protein. This modification is important for protein and membrane interaction.

Basically two types of amino acid are required for the farsenylation modification. The signal peptide sequence is the short amino acid sequence that targets the ribosome in the endoplasmic reticulum. The sequence is generally lysine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and leucine. The second sequence must be Caax (C is cysteine, a is aliphatic amino acid and X consists of C terminal amino acid.
