<span>The variables in this study would be the folic acid used (the independent variable) and the DNA formed through the implementation (the dependent variable). By changing the amount of folic acid used in the experiment, the DNA will possibly be changed in the microbes.</span>

The correct answer is option (C) The amount of folic acid is the independent variable, and the DNA synthesized is the dependent variable.

DNA or the deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of the nitrogenous bases called the purines and pyrimidines. Folic acid or the vitamin B9 is essential for the synthesis of these nitrogen bases of the DNA. A scientific experiment conducted always has two parameters, a dependent and a independent variable. A dependent variable in an experiment is a variable which is being tested and measured. In the experiment Jon is conducting, the amount of DNA becomes an dependent variable which is being tested and measured in presence of folic acid.  An independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is changed or controlled in the scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. Here, folic acid becomes an independent variable as the amount of it is varied and tested to check the formation on DNA in bacteria.  Thus, an independent variable always changes to check its effect on the dependent variable.

What are three lines of evidence thst support the theory of evolution
pav-90 [236]
According to kagmi on yahoo these are three lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution.

The fossil record shows the existence of billions of extinct species. It also shows a clear progression from one species to the next; there are many "transitional fossils," such as the archeoptryx (probably spelled that wrong, lol) which is clearly an intermediate in the evolution of dinosaurs into birds. 

<span>Biogeography shows the distribution of species, providing further support that different species can and do evolve from common ancestors. Australia has many species of marsupials not found on other continents, for example; this implies that these species may have shared a common ancestor which lived on Australia when it was separated from the other continents by continental drift. </span>

<span>Molecular biology allows us to analyze genes and proteins down to the very molecules that make them up. This reveals many similarities and differences between organisms not readily apparent to the naked eye. We can see, for example, that humans share the vast majority of their DNA with all mammals; slightly less with reptiles; slightly less with amphibians, and so on. We find that species' DNA sequences match up well with the fossil record in terms of how closely related the species are. </span>
