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. <em>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.</em>
<em>------------------------------------------------------</em>
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
- <em>the population is closed during the sampling season, there is no mortality nor natality, </em>
- <em>marks in the individual last the whole sampling season, and they do not affect the marked individual or their behavior. </em>
- <em>marked individuals are randomly distributed in the population, and </em>
- <em>all the individuals have the same probability of being sampled.</em>
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 <em>counting individuals</em>.
For instance, if we need to estimate insects population density (<u><em>Gypsy moth population</em></u>) or reptiles population density (<u><em>Green lizard population</em></u>) because of their biological and ecological characteristics, the best way of doing it is by applying indirect methods. <em>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. </em>Among many other characteristics, their population density can not be estimated by direct methods. Mark-Recapture technique is the most suitable one.

Answer: The parents of the white cat would be a dominant white cat and a recessive colored coat cat. The parents of the autosomal tabby would be a dominant tabby and either a recessive brown cat, striped cat, or a recessive black cat.
Explanation:
The genotypes and phenotypes would be : WW- Dominant white and ww- recessive color coat cat; their offspring would be 100% recessive white kittens
TT- dominant tabby and a recessive brown cat; their children would be 100%- dominant brown tabby
TT- dominant tabby and a recessive striped cat; children would be 100%- brown striped
TT- dominant tabby and a recessive black cat; children would be 100%- tabby kittens
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Question -
You just came back from class in which the topic was egocentrism in the preoperational stage. You have a 4-year-old and thought that you would see if what you learned was accurate. You are sitting directly across from her and ask her to look at the front and back cover of her favorite book. After she did this you asked her to describe "the part of the book I am looking at." What does she tell you?
a) how many pages there are in the book
b) what she sees
c) what you see
d) what the story is about
Solution
As per Piaget's theory of cognitive development, when a child is at the preoperational stage he/she is able to think only at symbolic level and cannot use his/her cognitive thinking.
He/she is unable to derive senses or meaning associated with symbols and also his/her communication is egocentric which means they cannot think from the perspective of other people.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer:
Heat can transfer between two objects touching one another. What type of heat transfer is this? What will the temperature of both objects be after these objects remain in contact for a long period of time?
Explanation:
Answer:
it wouldn't work
Explanation:
In a heterozygous genotype the dominant allele completely masks the effect of the recessive allele in the organism's phenotype.
