Answer:

Its conclusion is flawed because in a scientific investigation it is necessary to carry out the experimentation in a significant sample of hermit crabs. In this case Laurita and Trey only considered 2 crabs whose behavior may be determined by other factors, so it is necessary to increase the study sample .

A subset of the population is called a "sample," and therefore must be representative of it. In general, when a sample is estimated, the population size must be taken into consideration.  Very large populations will require large samples for their representativeness, and small populations will require smaller samples.

The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine. Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA.

Pepsi [2]
For an animal to be extinct none more of that specific species must exist on Earth. This makes it impossible for that species to come back to life.
