The researchers will use mice instead of opossums or humans to determine whether the cells of the ear bones originated from the same embryonic cells as the cells that form the jaw in other vertebrates because in this type of experiment, organisms that are ideal are the ones that have a short life span, easy to be researched on and easy to mantain.
It will be very tedious and demanding to use opossums and humans in this type of practical experiment because,it is against the culture and norms guilding human living and existence to use humans as model organisms,opossums as well are very bad model organisms because unlike the mice,opossums are long lived and it will be very difficult to raise and maintain an opossum in a laboratory.
Humans and mice are both mammals just that human is a higher mammal but they share similar features in terms of pattern of development,though there is a clear difference during their early development,so because of the common ancestry shared by the mice and humans,the result of the experiment on the mice with share a close similarity with the pattern that is expected in humans.
When conducting a population sampling study, on the first capture attempt, we tag, count, and release the captured individuals. Thus, option "D" is correct.
<h3>What is the mark-recapture method?</h3>
This is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate the animals in the population. A portion of the population is captured, marked and released. Another part of the population will, later on, be captured. This can be used to estimate the population in an assumption that the portion that was captured is proportional to the entire population. This is obtained by dividing the number of marked individuals by the individual marked on the second capture. This is one of the simplest and most practical methods of estimating the population.
Thus, option "D" is correct.

Answer:
Population density. Population distribution.
Explanation:
This would be a synonymous question as to, "why do cells not just grow big in size?"
The main reason would as to why cells have to be small, not just during cell reproduction or cell division, but all throughout their cellular life, is that the cell membrane or what they call as outside of the cell, can't sustain and maintain the insides of the cell if ever the cell grows bigger. The cell membrane is responsible in transporting food and oxygen to the insides to promote the growth and ready them for reproduction. The insides grow faster than the outside which is why there is a need to divide.
