What is the difference between independent and dependent variables

Biology
1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]3 years ago
4 0

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.

Hybridomas, which produce monoclonal antibodies, are made by fusing cells of the immune system with.
yuradex [85]

Monoclonal antibodies are made by the fusion of cells of the immune system with B lymphocytes and myeloma cells.

<h3>What is Hybridoma technology?</h3>
  • It is one of the best technologies that is used to produce the monoclonal antibody.
  • In this hybridoma technology the B lymphocytes that are antibody producing are isolated from a source after the immunization with a specific antigen and then are fused with myeloma cell line to form hybrid cells that are also called as hybridoma cell lines.
  • The hybridoma cell lines are then cultured in the laboratory with specific antigen and then the monoclonal antibodies are produced.
  • This can be done in in-vivo or in-vitro condition.
  • This method is preferred over all because the production of antibodies by this method is good as the antibodies produced are of high purity and highly sensitive and specific.
  • These cell lines can also be preserved for a long time.
  • Hybridoma technology has resulted in production of different varieties of monoclonal antibodies with specificity with specific antigens as the monoclonal antibodies are produced by single parental B cells.

Which post disaster phase is generally characterized by optimism due to an infusion of resources?
Tamiku [17]
I think the answer is Honeymoon phase. Post disaster periods are usually divided into four phases. These includes; Heroic phase, Honeymoon phase, Disillusionment phase and Reconstruction phase. Heroic phase occurs immediately after the disaster strikes. Honeymoon phase occurs immediately in the first few days after the disaster. Disillusionment phase, the community and the survvors are already getting tired and impatient. Reconstruction phase, it is the long term phase of the disaster where we must manage the expectations of the public regarding the ongoing recovery process.

Why do clouds tend to form at 3pm and 6am
Verizon [17]
Clouds form as a result of the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere. They are made of tiny droplets of water. Clouds tend to form between 3pm and 6pm because this is when the region starts to loose or has completely lost the heat form the daily sun. Water vapor will condense once temperatures are low or are decreasing.
