Answer:
The fourth plant that receives pure water is the control group.
Explanation:
The election of a control group is essential in an experiment. Its principal purpose is to allow the discrimination of the results obtained by the treatment in the study, in this case, <em>the different concentrations of salty water that each plant receives</em>. The control group provides a reference point. It must be selected from the same population of the treatment groups. Both groups must be similar in every variable that might influence the results, <u>except for the study treatment.</u>
The answer is B because It helps plants absorb energy and get their nutrients from the sunlight
➜ <u>Mendel conducted breeding experiments with garden peas</u>:
[i] He studied plants (pure) of a tall/short varities.
[ii] He crossed them and obtained F1 progeny.
[iii] He found that F1 progeny was all tall plants.
[iv] He selfed the (hybrid) plants if F1 progeny.
[v] He found that in F2 progeny there were tall as well as short plants.
[vi] The three quarter plants were tall and one quarter was short.
(or any other contrasting character may be taken).
<u>Note</u>: Here, F1 means <u>First fillial generation</u> and F2 means <u>Second fillial generation</u>.
Molecular biologists are interested in things like the level of gene expression (how much protein or RNA is present at any given time), which molecules are directly touching each other inside the cell, etc. ... Cell biology techniques, on the other hand, want to know what's going on inside intact cells.
