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 would you expect to be the final plant height for a plant grown in eight hours of light?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Insufficient information to generate conclusion

Explanation:

It is really difficult to answer this question based on provided data. Rather speculations can be made. This is because of several reasons. The height of plant varies for different plant species. Likewise, it is really difficult for any plant species to the height of 5 inches (the lowest given option) within period of 8 hours only. It needs 8 hours light for several days to reach this much of height even for studied model plants such as arabidopsis. Thereon, each plant species would need different number of days.

On the other hand, it is important to consider that sunlight is a vital parameter for plant cells to elongate and multiply. This is because of the fact that plant use sunlight to fix carbon dioxide into the carbohydrates which is used in many cellular processes including cell division and growth. However, metabolic machinery in different plants works at different rates. Based on these reasons, it is super difficult to pick one option out of the given information to answer this question. Hope this helps.
