Answer:

The correct answer will be- independent variable.

Explanation:

A scientific experimental design must include three types of variables which are independent variable (which can be manipulated), dependent variable ( which has to be tested and depending on the independent variable) and constant variable (which is kept constant).

In the given question, since the student wants to study the difference in the activeness of the goldfish in red and grey gravels, therefore, he performed the experiment with different gravels.

In this experiment, <em>the independent variable is the color of the gravel</em> as it can be changed as well as the dependent variable depends on this variable.

Thus, the independent variable is the correct answer.

Which wold tell you for sure if you had a sample of real gold​
Advocard [28]

To perform this test to check if gold is real, make a light, tiny scratch on the item using a small nail file. Choose a spot that is not noticeable if possible. Use a dropper to apply a small drop of nitric acid to the scratch. If there is no reaction, then the piece is probably made from real gold.

Knowing what we know about the link between genetics, environment and intelligence, what would be your expectations if you were
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

I would expect them to perform similar.

Explanation:

Studies suggest that intelligence has a genetic component and can, in part, be passed from parent to child - but not only that. There are outer components that contribute to the formation of intelligent individuals. Better nutrition and more access to education would be possible explanations for the progressive increase in intelligence test scores over time.

Homozygous twins are those that are mainly characterized by similarity between individuals. These twins are formed from the same zygote, ie after the fertilization process. Because of this characteristic, they have the same genetic heritage and are therefore considered identical.

As the homozygous twins in their classroom have the same genetic heritage and attend the same environment, we can conclude that their intelligence is influenced by the same factors. For this reason, a teacher who taught these two brothers might have expectations that they would perform similarly in the classroom.

What can the student conclude about her hypothesis based on the results?
solong [7]

Answer: The results will tell us about the correctness of hypothesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Hypothesis is that explanation which is used as a starting of any investigation. The Hypothesis can or cannot be correct. We can test the hypothesis with scientific research.

Now a student can make conclusions about the hypothesis based on the results obtained. If results are the same as the hypothesis it means that our proposed explanation i.e hypothesis was correct but if the result differs than it means the hypothesis was not correct.
