Complete question:

A female is born with attached earlobes, which is a recessive phenotype. Which of the following statements about her parents must be true?

a. neither has the codominant allele.

b. Her father has an inactivated allele.

c. Both parents have the recessive allele.

d. Her mother carries the dominant allele.

Answer:

c. Both parents have the recessive allele.

Explanation:

A recessive trait is expressed in homozygous recessive genotypes only. If a female expresses the attached earlobe phenotype, she should be homozygous for the allele since the attached earlobe is a recessive trait. If allele "a" gives attached earlobe phenotype in homozygous genotype, the genotype of the female would be "aa". This means that the female has got one copy of the allele "a" from her either parents. Therefore, both her parents should have at least one copy of the recessive allele "a".

A student wants to test the hypothesis that plants need soil to grow. Identify the independent
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Independent variable: Adding/not adding soil.

Dependent variables: Does the plant grow? Amount of leaves, plant length.

Controlled variables: Type of plant used, amount of sunlight received, pot used for plant, amount of water given, temperature of soil, etc.

Explanation:

Independent variable: The thing that you want to change. To see if plants need soil to grow, you would need to either add or remove soil altogether.

Dependent variables: The thing that is being measured. By adding your independent variable, you should be able to answer certain questions.

Controlled variables: Things you want to keep the same for each experimental group. For example, if you used different plants, your results could be affected negatively as some plants might rely on soil less than others/grow at a slower or faster pace.
