Answer:

Option A 400 individuals

Explanation:

Using this formula, we can estimate the population size of the canvas backs as this is a capture-recapture method.

N = (MxC) / R

Where N = estimated Number of individuals in the population

M = number of individuals captured and Marked = 200

C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark) = 200 and

R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark) = 100

Thus, we have

N = (MxC) / R

= (200 x 200) / 100

= (40,000) / 100

= 400 individuals.

Research suggests that eating lots of fruits and vegetables may provide some protection against several types of cancer. Studies
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

So is; It has been shown, for example, in<em><u> breast cancer</u></em> that women who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables every day may have a lower risk of breast cancer, especially aggressive tumors, than those who consume less vegetables, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the TH Chan School of Public Health in Boston, United States. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and yellow and orange vegetables stand out especially.

Explanation:

The plant-based foods that the researchers studied for cancer prevention are:

<u> Cruciferous vegetables</u>. They include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, and green cabbage. Frequent consumption of these foods is associated with a reduced risk of cancer.

Studies show that cruciferous vegetables provide protection against:

- Head and neck cancer.

- Esophagus cancer.

-Stomach cancer.

Several laboratory studies suggest that cruciferous vegetables help regulate enzymes that protect against cancer. Studies also show that cruciferous vegetables can stop the growth of cancer cells in other ways. But these effects can differ between cells, laboratory animals, and people.

<u>Lycopene. </u>This carotenoid is found in products derived from tomato. Other important sources of lycopene are pink grapefruit, watermelon, and apricot.

Studies show that lycopene can provide cancer protection from:

-Lung

-Stomach

-Prostate

-Colon
