A confounding variable refers to an external effect, which modifies the influence of an independent and dependent variable. This extraneous effect is used to affect the outcome of an experimental design. The confounding variables can ruin the experiment and can generate unnecessary outcomes.  

In the given case, confounding variables can be introduced by testing multiple hypotheses at a time and by using distinct kinds of soil in each of the samples.

Answer:

The correct answers are "He tests multiple hypotheses at a time" and "He uses different types of soil in each of his samples".

Explanation:

Confounding variables are factors that are not taken into account while performing an experiment, and can ruin the results by introducing bias or by giving false positive or negative results. Confounding variables must be avoided in any experiment, which must be designed to test only one variable at the time. In this case Hakeem would introduce confounding variables if he tests multiple hypotheses at a time or if he uses different types of soil in each of his samples. This two scenarios involve testing different variables at the same time, instead of testing just one at the time as it should be.

Answer:

It has been suggested that these kinds of lesions may be indicative of  fighting with other members of its species or the attacks of predators

Explanation:

The Neandertals were exposed to very hard environmental conditions, thereby these lesions may be indicative of such conditions to which this species was exposed.

Carlos is a healthy but sedentary college student. he weighs 175 pounds. about how many grams of protein should he consume each
MatroZZZ [7]
Carlos will have to consume about 63 gram of protein per day.
The dietary reference intake of protein is 0.8 gram of protein per kilogram body weight or 0.36 gram per pound. Carlos is 175 pounds in weight, so he is going to need 0.36 * 175 = 63. Thus, Carlos needs 63 grams of protein per day.<span />

Two protein kinases, K1 and K2, function sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway. If either kinase contains a mutatio
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The order must be K2→K1, since the permanently active K1 allele (K1a) is able to propagate the signal onward even when its upstream activator K2 is inactive (K2i). The reverse order would have resulted in a failure to signal (K1a→K2i), since the permanently active K1a kinase would be attempting to activate a dead K2i kinase.

Explanation:

  • You characterize a double mutant cell that contains K2 with type I mutation and K1 with type II mutation.
  • You observe that the response is seen even when no extracellular signal is provided.
  • In the normal pathway, i f K1 activat es K2, we expect t his combinat ion of two m utants to show no  response with or without ext racell ular signal. This is because no matt er how active K1 i s, it would be unable to  act ivate a mutant K2 that i s an activit y defi cient. If we reverse the order, K2 activating K1, the above  observati on is valid. Therefore, in the normal signaling pathway, K2 activates K1.
