In sheep, white is due to a dominant gene (W), black to its recessive allele (w). A white ewe mated to a white ram produces a bl
ack lamb. If they produce another offspring, could it be white? If so, what are the chances of it being white? List the genotypes of all animals mentioned in this problem.
Since the first offspring produced between the ram and the ewe was black you can determine that both sheep have a recessive and dominant allele. Both of the parent's genotypes would be Ww, this is because they both have the white phenotype and they were able to produce a black offspring. Since both parents have a genotype of Ww the probability of a black offspring being produced is 25% and 75% for a white lamb.
Answer: i would say the independent variable is the soil and the control variable is the seed because it stays the same in all of them to better understand the experiment while the dependent variable is the fertilizer.
Explanation: i am not completely sure but maybe someone else can also answer to verify it first
