Charles Darwin observed an orchid flower with very long, thin tubes that prevent many species from feeding on flower nectar and

pollinating the flower. He offered a prediction that some species of pollinator would eventually be found that can feed and pollinate through the small tube. You decide to test Charles Darwin's proposal by placing nets over some orchids that allow small pollinators to enter, but prevent the large sphinx moth from entering. You then compare the number of seeds produced byplants with and without the nets. The seed production is
A. a dependent variable.
B. a standardized variable.
C. a hypothesis.
D. an independent variable.
E. a theory.

Answer:

A. a dependent variable.

Explanation:

A scientific experiment contains three types of variables (factor or condition) in experiments: the dependent, independent and controlled variables.

The independent variable is the variables which can be changed or altered naturally or artificially like the sunlight, temperature whereas a dependent variable is a variable which depends on the independent variable and is the studied parameter of the experiment.

In the given question, since the production and the number of the seeds is influenced by the pollinator, therefore, a number of seeds will be considered the dependent variable.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

A squirrel helps carry out a plant’s reproduction. Arrange the steps in the correct order, starting with successful pollination.

After successful pollination the seeds start to develop as they grow they began to fall from the tree where a squirrel would then find them and eat them or bury them for winter as if he eats them the seed travel through his body and out with his wast where it will be covered and then slowly grow but if the squirrel burys them they wont need to get buried so they will start to grow almost immediately.

Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when
Aneli [31]
There is variation within the population, due to a mutation. The selection pressure is the drug. The microbes that have the advantageous gene which makes them resistant to the drug are selected for, and reproduce passing on the gene, increasing its allele frequency within the population over time. However, the microbes that do not have the advantageous gene, cannot survive and their number decreases within the popullation.
