Answer: C.) They need the host cell to replicate
Explanation:
Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
I don't know if this is correct but I think A <span />
Answer: The estimated population is 1250 mice
Explanation: The method use was marked and recapture, in which individuals are marked in the first capture and after some time biologist trap a new group of individuals that can be or not marked
Whit this data is possible to estimate the size of a population applying the Peterson method but is important to make some considerations such as:
1. All indivuals have the same probability to be capture
2, The population remain constant in terms of birth and death rate.
Taking this into account, the formula that allows to determine the size of the population is:
N=CM / R
where N is the size of the population, C is number of indivuals trapped in recapture, M is number of individuals marked in the first capture and R is the number of marked animals trapped in recapture
In this case:
N = 250 * 200 / 40 = 1250
