Answer:
What is the effect of power/magnification on the frequency and size of organelles under a microscope?
Explanation:
Organelles within the cell are responsible for carrying out various functions. Some cells are more specialized than others, and may have particular organelles at a higher frequency, or showing a variation in size; sub-cellular structures become more visible at higher magnifications under the microscope.
Hypotheses:
- organelle A's frequency decreases while B's frequency increases at higher magnifications
- organelle A's size increases while B's size decreases at higher magnifications
<em />
<em>Dependent variables: size and frequency cell organelles</em>
<em>Independent variable: power/magnification at low (x4), medium(x10) and high (x40)</em>
<em>Controlled variables: Type of organelles, microscope used, cell examined, </em>
Method:
1. Examine the organelles A and B in a cell mounted on a slide; use the fine adjustment to focus on the cell.
- Frequency: What is the average number of organelle A versus B, seen at low (x4), medium (x10) and high (x40) magnifications?
- Size: Measure the average diameter of organelle A versus B using an ocular micrometer at low, medium and high magnification.
2. Record and tabulate observations.
We do quite often have mutt birds. (the correct name for such a mutt is a hybrid. <span>They are way more common than most people think, but unless you are a birdwatcher you probably wouldn’t even spot them. People often see an odd looking birds and simply think it’s a type they haven’t seen before, when in fact it is a hybrid of two well-known species.
Having said that, for birds to hybridized they have to be fairly closely related to start with. Robins and blue jays are no more closely related than humans are to baboons. You wouldn’t expect a human and a baboon to be able to mate and produce babies would you? So no, robins and blue jays can’t interbreed.
However there are many different species of animal that CAN interbreed and produce offspring. But the different species need to be fairly closely related, far more closely than human and baboon… or a blue jay and a robin.
For example we can interbreed horses and donkeys to produce baby mules, and we can breed cattle and buffalo, or camels and llamas. And the same is true of birds. While blue jays can’t be bred with robins in the wild we quite frequently find mutt birds.

Ducks are particularly noted for forming wild mutts and many if not all north American mallards for example are of mixed species ancestry.</span>

<span>If a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that can cause deviations from expectation depending on the assumptions of HW that are violated. If a population violates some of the assumptions (like mutations, migrations and selection) the allele frequencies will change over time. Also, if a non-random mating occurs (like inbreeding), it will cause an increase in homozygosity for all genes.</span>
A cell membrane would most likely be close to an egg structure. A cell membrane is a selective permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It consists of the lipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
Hypothesis: If Plant Food X is used on a tomato plant, then production rate will increase.
experiment: Gather 2 tomato plants of the same height and age. Make two groups, a control group (a tomato plant without use of fertilizer) and an experimental group (a tomato plant with using Plant Food X).
For one week, give each plant the same amount of water, humidity, sunlight, and air temperature. after a week measure the height and number of tomatoes produced. gather the info in a table and compare to hypothesis after one week.
