Scientists studying San Joaquin kit foxes have proposed the three strategies shown in an effort to increase the kit fox
population
• Strategy 1: Work with landowners to create artificial
dens that prevent coyotes and bobcats from entering
• Strategy 2: Place tracking devices on lizards and
rodents to understand how the kit fox's prey use the
territory
• Strategy 3: Restore a portion of agricultural land back
to its original saltbush habitat.

Identify which strategy is likely to result in the greatest
increase in the San Joaquin kit fox population. Explain why
the strategy you identified is more likely than the other two
strategies to lead to the greatest increase in the kit fox
population. Use evidence from the information about kit
foxes to support your explanation.

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.
