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.

What are the body’s three defenses? How do they differ from each other.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

- Physical and chemical barriers

- non-specific innate responses

- specific adaptive responses

<u>The differences are...</u>

The first barrier is the physical and chemical barrier. It is the first line of defense when in contact with outside sources, this can be through the skin, earwax, nose-hair, etc.

The second barrier, the non-specific innate response, is after these outside sources have somehow managed to pass through the first barrier. They come into contact with cells and enzymes that help to defeat them.

The third barrier, the specific adaptive response, is the body's way of dealing with pathogens that the body has encountered before. (B cells activate)
