Graduate students monitoring the benthic organisms of a freshwater lake take samples at different depths throughout the lake and identify the invertebrate species present. In a deep region of the lake, they discover a crustacean that appears to be a new species. They decide to study its natural history. What is the first thing they should do in this study?

Do a literature search to find natural history information on closely related species.

Explanation:

In the context,  few graduate students monitored the benthic organisms from the fresh lake water samples and identified the invertebrate species that are present.

They also discover a crustacean which appears to be the new species for which they decided to do a study on its natural history. The first thing that the graduate student should do is to do a literature search for finding a natural history on the information that are closely related species.

the real answer is b. scintillation counter

the level of progesterone is low at the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle but it gradually increases and the levels are high at the luteal phase. if pregnancy occurs, the level of progesterone will be high throughout the pregnancy.

if egg is fertilized and the mother gets pregnant, progesterone starts preparing the uterus for the implantation. it starts building up the lining of uterus and make it hostile of the period of pregnancy.
