The sentence that best explains why the native Australian dung beetles were not doing the job is "Cow dung is not part of any native Australian species niche." The beetles in Australia had formed alongside the kangaroos and wombats. When the cattle were brought to Australia in the 1880's by European settlers, the beetles were not used to the texture of the dung. It was much different and the dung was not decomposing. Native beetles were not using this dung as a feeding source. This left the cattle not feeding in the pasture because they won't eat near the dung. This reduced the cattle grazing land.

The best estimate of the population of trout in the lake is 500 individuals.

The low number of tagged trout recaptured may be because the tags slipped off.

This possibility can be reduced if the student used tags that does not slip off easily.

<h3>Mark and recapture method</h3>

The formula for calculating the estimated number of individuals in the population is given as:

  • N = (M*C) / R

where:

  • N = estimated Number of individuals in the population
  • M = number of individuals captured and Marked
  • C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark)
  • R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark)

Calculating the estimate trout population:

N = (50*40)/4

N = 50

Therefore, the best estimate of the population of trout in the lake is 500 individuals.

The low number of tagged trout recaptured may be because the tags slipped off.

This possibility can be reduced if the student used tags that does not slip off easily.

Approximately 90% of human cancer cells exhibit significant levels of telomerase. Does this mean that telomerase is an oncogene?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

No, telomerase is not an oncogene. It prevents the senescence that would occur due to shortened telomeres, but the cell proliferation might still be mitogen-dependent.

Explanation

telomerase is not responsible for causing  deregulation while oncogenes cause deregulation .

Telomeres length shorten after the cell division which stops them to divide again and cell die.

Telomerase prevents this decline in some kinds of cells, including stem cells, by lengthening telomeres, and the hope was that activating the enzyme could  prevent senescence.
