Answer: High calories diet

Explanation:

Independent variable can be defined as the factors which the experimenter can control and the the dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

Here, the experiment is to test the effect of high calorie diet on the animal's weight.

The experiment is to test whether the animals gain weight if supplied with high calorie diet.

So, the independent variable in the experiment is high calorie diet and dependent variable is weight of animal.

What is post-combustion carbon capture?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

CO 2 can be captured from the exhaust of a combustion process by absorbing it in a suitable solvent. This is called post-combustion capture. The absorbed CO 2 is liberated from the solvent and is compressed for transportation and storage. Other methods for separating CO 2 include high pressure membrane filtration,...

Is it possible for marine scientists to get an exact count of a population? Why or why not?
Nady [450]

No, that is completely impossible. The reasoning behind it is because if its a large group of fish they're swimming back and forth ect, ect, it would be like counting a bowl of rice, but not being able to take any out. To get around these counting problems, scientists take data from just a small portion of the population called a sample. They take several samples and then use the average size of those samples to calculate an estimate of the entire population size.

What is the differences between nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA?
oee [108]

Answer:

Believe it or not, mitochondria are their own organisms!

That’s right, they are single celled living beings that hitch a ride inside our cells for security, and in return they make our energy systems run much better than they would. This arrangement started a very long time ago, before we split from our last ancestor with plants, and long before we became multicellular. Other than this arrangement, our DNA has nothing to do with the DNA of the mitochondria (other than synergistic evolution making us more compatible with one another).

For this reason, it is easy to see how mitochondrial DNA differs from nuclear DNA.

First major difference is that we are in different kingdoms and even different super kingdoms to mitochondria (I know there are only meant to be 5 kingdoms but in biology people often use a system based off genetic differences, leading to a huge array of kingdoms that are often really distantly related). So our DNA and mitochondrial DNA share very few similarities. We both replicate our DNA using the same method and have the same base pairs, but the DNA itself says different things.

Another difference is that mitochondria generations are very fast compared to humans’, so their DNA undergoes genetic drift at a much faster rate, and changes more over time. Therefore it is much easier to locate recent changes in populations, for example the migrations out of Africa in the last 200,000 years, or the ethnic backgrounds of different African races, using mitochondrial DNA. In contrast nuclear DNA has fewer fine mutations that can be used as a map for recent events (in the last million years, say).

Mitochondria are passed down from mother to child in animals, so you will always have your mother’s mitochondrial DNA. This is why there is a mitochondrial Eve- this is the last female that is an ancestor of everyone on the planet, and therefore every human possesses direct ancestors of her mitochondria (and her nuclear DNA). In contrast we receive a 50/50 split of nuclear DNA from father and mother.

I hope this helps!
