27. In 1986, a meltdown of a nuclear reactor in the city of Chernobyl, in Ukraine, released highly radioactive chemicals into th

e atmosphere. As a result, people suffered various forms of cancer because of exposure to these radioactive chemicals. Cancerous cells divide much more often than noncancerous cells and form tumors in the body.
(A) The radioactive chemicals burned people’s skin, which increased cell division rates in the people who developed cancer.


(B)The radioactive chemicals polluted people’s food, which changed some people’s ability to digest proteins and caused cancer.


(C) The radioactive chemicals caused structural changes in people’s genes, which changed how proteins functioned in cell division.


(D) The radioactive chemicals polluted people’s drinking water, which caused cells to divide more quickly in the people’s bodies and form tumors.

List two additional populations (other than those listed in the lab) for which
omeli [17]

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.
