How do scientists measure wildlife population such as rabbits?

Biology
1 answer:
faust18 [17]3 years ago

They plot out a given area, such as 500 acres. They pick a section, maybe 100' X 100' square, and set live traps.

After catching the rabbits, they do a count and note sex, age, health. and size, then turn them loose. The number of rabbits caught, times how many 100' X 100' sections there are in 500 acres, gives them the approximate amount of rabbits in that 500 acre area.

This kind of thing is done for most animal populations, except for those that can't or shouldn't be caught. Those animals are often counted by observation or by photography and then multiplied by the given area as I said.

Scientists can track the movement of proteins through the endomembrane system using an approach known as a pulse-chase experimen
RoseWind [281]

Based on these data the most likely function of the cells is phagocytosis.

We can conclude this because, within the first three minutes, the radioactivity is the highest inside the ER. After that, it increases in Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and extracellular space which is exactly the pathway of the ingested amino acids via phagocytosis.

Which statements are true for dna and rna? check all that apply?
LekaFEV [45]
Since there are no given choices, I would just compare and contrast DNA and RNA. These are the two types of nucleic acids in the human body. The structural unit of nucleic acids are composed of repeating units of monomers called nucleotides. Nucelotides are composed of three functional groups: sugars which are specifically pentoses (5-Carbon sugars), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

Now, the RNA and DNA differ in the composition of these sugars and the bases. Based on the nitrogenous bases and sugar, the DNA has a deoxyribose as the sugar and its 4 bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. For RNA, the sugar is ribose while its 4 bases are <span>adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

They also differ in their structure. </span>DNA is a double stranded β-helix with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is composed of a shorter chain with a single strand α-helix structure.

Lastly, they differ in their functions. T<span>he DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information while the RNA is responsible for transporting the genetic information to the ribosomes which synthesize proteins.</span>

Wether the apple has a taproot or a fibrous root
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

taproot

Explanation:

Apple trees roots consist of a deep taproot and lateral fibrous roots. The taproot is analogous to the carrot, which is a taproot. Lateral fibrous roots can extent to more than twice the spread of the canopy of the apple tree and are influenced by soil, water availability and competition from the roots of other plants.
