  • Card 8 / 17:
    Describe how a researcher would determine the size of a penguin population in Antarctica using the mark and release method.

    The researcher would mark a certain number of penguins with a tag, release them back into the population, and, at a later time, recapture penguins to see what percentage of the recaptured penguins was tagged. This percentage would allow an estimation of the size of the penguin population.
