The addition of acetyl groups makes histones _______ positively charged, and thus ______

Indirect methods like mark and recapture become a strong tool to estimate population size or density in species on which it is impossible to apply a direct methods. Because of their biological and ecological characteristics, the Gypsy moth and the Green lizard populations are good examples for which mark and recapture would work well.

------------------------------------------------------

There are different methods to study population density. There are direct methods and indirect methods. Among these last ones, we might find the Mark-Recapture technique.

The Mark-Recapture technique assumes that

the population is closed during the sampling season, there is no mortality nor natality,
marks in the individual last the whole sampling season, and they do not affect the marked individual or their behavior.
marked individuals are randomly distributed in the population, and
all the individuals have the same probability of being sampled.

The method consists of capturing a sample of individuals belonging to the population under study. After capturing the individuals, the researcher marks and releases them again. The third step is to sample again: The researcher captures new individuals and counts how many of them are marked. These marked individuals belong to the first sample.

Indirect methods like this become a strong tool to estimate population size or density in species on which it is impossible to apply a direct method such as counting individuals.

For instance, if we need to estimate insects population density (Gypsy moth population) or reptiles population density (Green lizard population) because of their biological and ecological characteristics, the best way of doing it is by applying indirect methods. These species characterize as small-sized, fast to escape, they can hide in small inaccessible places, they have nocturnal habits, their reproductive rate is too high, and their distribution rate is wide. Among many other characteristics, their population density can not be estimated by direct methods. Mark-Recapture technique is the most suitable one.

One of the neurotransmitters can become decreased in the area of the corpus striatum. This results in the manifestations of Park

andrey2020 [161]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options-

A) Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

B) Acetylcholine

C) Dopamine

D) Serotonin

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Dopamine

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is one of the movement disorders which gets worse with time. The disease is caused due to the degeneration of the neurons in the brain which are responsible for the body movement.

Although many brain areas are affected the most common result is due to the loss of neurons in the substantia nigra in which the neurons produce a neurotransmitter called dopamine which is responsible for the body movements.

Thus, Dopamine is the correct answer.
