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.

katovenus [111]

In the scientific method, the self-correcting nature of science usually means that mistakes or even deceptions do not last long.

Scientific Method

The scientific method is the process chosen by scientists and researchers to investigate or verify a  phenomenon.  It involves various steps such as making an observation, asking the question, forming the hypothesis, collecting the data, testing the hypothesis, and deriving the conclusion.

Science is always self-correcting as every piece of information is scrutinized over and over again. Often disproving existing information with appropriate evidence is considered a prestigious and high achievement. This is unlike politics, religion, etc where such a person might get prosecuted. It is often regarded as the aim of science is not to proclaim a piece of information as absolute truth but to keep improving a piece of existing information.

As a scientist, you seek to prove that DNA is the hereditary macromolecule by replicating the Hershey-Chase experiment. You cult
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e. "None of the above".

Explanation:

The Hershey-Chase experiment helped to prove that DNA was the genetic material, by specifically labeling the DNA material of a bacteriophage with phosphorus-32. In this experiment the lambda phage is labeled with heavy and light Cl. CI-36, the one that is heavy and radioactive, corresponds to Chlorine-36. Chlorine is not an element found in DNA such as phosphorus, therefore lambda DNA will not be labeled and no radioactivity will be detected.
