Hypothesis: Daphnias can increase in population at a room
temperature, rather than a colder or warmer temperature.

Control group will be at a room temperature water. The experimental will be tested in cold and warmer waters.

Independent variable: change of water temperature.

The data will be the amount of growth in which the water fleas population increases or decreases, a bar graph would work.

Answer:

Experiment to test the effect of temperature on the size of a daphnia population:

1. The hypothesis to be tested is: "Cooler temperature will reduce the size of the population due to a decrease in the reproduction rate while the hotter temperature will increase the size of the population due to an increase in the reproduction rate.

2. In all groups, daphnia will be counted weekly at the same time. The amount of water and nutrients supplies will be the same between groups. The only thing that will change is the temperature. For example:

Control group will be at 20 Celcius degrees, the cooler group will be at ten Celcius degrees, and the hotter group will be at 30 Celcius degrees.

3. The independent variable is the temperature.

4. The dependent variable (data that will be collected) is the size of the population.

Explanation:

Daphnias are microscopic crustaceans, which are called water fleas because of their saltatory behavior like fleas. Their life span and reproduction can be affected by different factors, including the abundance of predators, food, and temperature. They alternate their reproduction strategy during their life; they can reproduce asexually and sexually. Lower temperatures (cooler) decrease their metabolic and reproduction rate while higher temperature (hotter) increase their metabolic and reproduction rate. Because they can reproduce more times during their life span and the reproduction rate is higher in higher temperatures, I expect that temperature will affect the size of the population of Daphnia.

How closely do Mendel insights into dominant and recessives traits match up with the ratios that punnett calculated in his Punne

Answer:

Perfectly in theory, except there is chance involved

Explanation:

The Punnet square is a diagram that allows scientists to predict the possible outcomes of the offspring when the genotypes of the parents are known. This is in line with Mendel's principles, and from a theoretical point of view would match up perfectly. However, it all works based on <em>probability</em>.

However, inheritance is always down to chance. Of your parents 2 alleles, you always have 50:50 chance of inheriting one of the allele. Overall, this is what is predicted in punnet squares.

However, think about flipping a coin. There is always 50:50 chance of getting heads, but that doesn't mean it is impossible to flip a coin and get tails 10 x in a row. It is just less likely. So in reality, observations might deviate from the theory.

The demand for environmental scientists and hydrologists is expected to increase because of a(n) _______? a. increased demand fo

Sergio039 [100]

There is an expected increased demand for both hydrologists and environmental scientists because of the increased demand for use of natural resources and the need to enforce all of the environmental laws and regulations. They also need to analyze human impact on the environment and ensure all of the proper disposal of human wastes. The hydrologists and scientists also advise policymakers in the government about numerous other things. They will also clean up polluted areas all over the world. The goal for these workers is to reduce industry waste. The men and women who do this job works in the field, offices, and also in laboratories. This is usually a full time job. The starting yearly salary for these specialists is an estimated $67,450 U.S dollars, as of May 2016. The expected job growth is 11% by by 2024. A person will need a Bachelors degree to pursue this job. So, the correct answer will be B.
