The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter deliberately changes or manipulates in order to bring about a response in the dependent variable/measured variable.
In this experiment, the TYPE OF LIQUID was changed for each group of plant in order to see how it affects how the plants grew. Hence, the TYPE OF LIQUID is the independent variable while the dependent variable is the plant growth, which is dependent on the independent variable.
Answer: Genetic engineering has many applications to medicine that include the manufacturing of drugs, creation of model animals that mimic human conditions and gene therapy.
1. ridges and trenches (either answer is acceptable)
2. mid-atlanitc
3. subduction zone
4. molten
5. oceanic trenches
Explain:
6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.
Background extinction refers to the normal extinction rate. These are species that go extinct simply because not all life can be sustained on Earth and some species simply cannot survive. Mass extinction is a widespread event that wipes out the majority (over 50%) of living plants and animals.
