Can someone please help me with the answers to i and ii f.
The birth rate in the lynx population can be estimated by determining
litter sizes. Litter size can be determined by two methods. The first
method involves counting the number of placental scars on the uterus of
a lynx carcass. A scar is left at each implantation site of a fetus. The
second method involves counting the number of degenerated corpora
lutea (plural of corpus luteum) in the ovaries of the lynx carcass. Neither
of these methods provides a completely accurate value for litter size.
Explain why each method produces an overestimation of actual litter size.
i. counting placental scars
ii. counting degenerated corpora lutea
