Greg and Andrea are trying to find out how long it takes amylase, a digestive enzyme found in saliva, to break down a sample of

starch. They put their sample in a beaker and covered it with their own saliva. After allowing it to sit on the lab table for 1 hour they measured the remaining surface area of the starch. What is the best way they could improve their experiment?

The answer is: the amount of the saliva samples must stay consistent while the amount of starch must vary.

The amount of the saliva samples must stay consistent because amylase, present in the saliva, is the independent variable which affects the dependent variable - the amount of starch. So, amylase will do its job while remaining surface area of the starch will depend on the starting amount of the starch.

The relationship between a dependent variable and independent variable in a scientific investigation is that the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. You can also put it this way: The results depend on the factor of the experiment that differs from the controlled group.


This is why the best way they could improve their experiment is by taking consistent amounts of their saliva samples with varying amounts of starch.

I hope it helps, Regards.

One of the most common methods of differentiating between early hominid stages of human evolution is through examining what?
REY [17]

The early hominid stages can be differentiated from one another based on the complexity of the tools used by these species. The tool evolved along with the evolution of the humans. The more the hominids evolved by more complex their tools became.  The tools made by the earliest hominids were used to fish out the termites. These tool developed and became more widely used as the humans evolved.

Hence, the answer is 'by observing the complexity of the tools'.

In summer squash, white fruit (H) is dominant over yellow (h), and the flattened disc-shaped fruit (D) is dominant over the sphe
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

a. It is a dihybrid cross

b. 0%

c. 0%

d. 0%

e. 100%

f. 0%

g. 0%

Note: Answers are given assuming that hhRD = hhDD

Explanation:

a. The cross, HHdd x hhDD is a dihybrid cross involving two traits: fruit colour and fruit shape

2. Gametes produced in the cross are given below:

for HHdd= Hd and Hd

For hhDD = hD and hD

Offspring produced in the cross:

All HhDd, which represents white and the flattened disc-shaped fruit white since They are both dominant characters.

b. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to have the HHDD genotype = 0%

c. Percentage of the offspring from this cros expected to have the hhDD genotype = 0%

d. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to have the HhDd genotype = 0%

e. Percentage of the offspring from this cross are expected to produce white and disc-shaped fruits (HHDD or HhDD or HhDd) = 100%

f. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to produce white and spherical fruits (HHdd or Hhdd) = 0%

g. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to produce yellow and disc-shape (hhDD or hhDd) = 0%
