There are microorganisms that are able to live in extreme environments under adverse conditions of pH, temperature and salinity. These microorganisms are classified as extremophiles. Within the group of extremophiles there are halophilic bacteria, which are those capable of living in extremely saline environments.
One biological factor that all living things are subject to suffer from is osmotic pressure. Halophilic microorganisms have developed mechanisms to adapt to saline environments where osmotic pressure acts with great intensity on individuals. These bacteria change the chemical composition of their membranes and also accumulate osmoprotective compounds in their cytoplasm to compensate for osmotic stress.

The independent variable is the one that can be changed
I think the correct answer would be water temperature because on the table, the water temperature is increasing by 10 each time so it is changing.
hope I'm right and hope I helped :)
The genotype would be X'Y for the father (he would be colorblind)
The genotype would be X'X for the mother (she would be a carrier)
The offspring would be X'X' _ X'X_ X'Y_ XY
The ratio would be 1:1 normal to colorblind
Hope this was helpful(;
It shows evolution and growth from the past and present
