A student is conducting their science experiment on the effect of caffeine on dogs. He has 3 groups of test subjects. The 1st gr

oup of dogs receives plain water. The 2nd group of dogs receives 10 mg of caffeine each, and the 3rd group receives 50 mg of caffeine each. He will measure their activity levels by recording how long each dog runs without stopping, after giving them the pills. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

The independent variable of an experiment is the one that is intentionally changed or manipulated to see the results of changing said variable.

We are told that in each different group, the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs changes - in the control group, they get no caffeine, in the 2nd group, they get 10 mg of caffeine each, and in the 3rd group, they get 50 mg of caffeine each.

Therefore, since the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs is the only variable that is being manipulated, this is the independent variable.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

                  A         G          C         T

Human:   31          19          19       31

Cow:         28         22      22         28

Salmon:     29       21       21         29

Wheat        27      23        23        27

Yeast         31         19       19         31

Explanation:

According to the rule of Chargaff which states or explains the amount of the A, T, G, and C bases in the DNA molecule. It says that the DNA of any organism should have a pyrimidine and purine ratio of 1:1. This means the amount of A would be equal to T and the amount G should be equal to the amount of C.

It also says that the amount of a and G would be equal to the amount of C and T. So on the base of this we can find the missing value in the table:

                    A         G          C         T

Human:   31          19          19       31   (A= T and G=C)

Cow:         28         22      22         28  (A= T and G=C)

Salmon:     29       21       21         29   (A= T and G=C)

Wheat        27      23        23        27 (100 - A+T = G+C)

Yeast         31         19       19         31 (A= T and G=C)

The cochlea contains ___________ which send(s) messages through the auditory nerve to the areas of the brain that are responsibl
Vadim26 [7]
The cochlea contains organ of cortis which send(s) messages through the auditory nerve to the areas of the brain that are responsible for interpreting auditory information. The Organ of cortis contains the hair cells and nerve receptors for hearing. When the hair cells has been stimulated, it will react to specific sound frequencies. However, only certain hair cells will be stimulated based on the pitch of the sound. The signals produced by the hair cells will turn into nerve impulses which will be sent out by the cochlear portion of the auditory nerve into the brain. This auditory nerve will carry the impulses from cochlea into the mid-brain which is the cochlear nucleus. On other brain pathways that end in the auditory cortex of the brain these nerve impulses were carried.
