Answer:

The correct answer is -

The control group: the group of people with no supplements and kept inside.

The dependent variable: Vitamin D level in all groups.

The independent variable: the source of vitamin D (sun or tablets)

Explanation:

The control group of any experiment is the group of subjects that did not receive any type of treatment or did not manipulate by the independent variable. Here the group of 30 people that kept inside and did not get supplements is the control group.

The independent variable is a variable that directly affects the dependent variable by a change in the independent variable. In this experiment, the sunlight and vitamin D tablets are independent variables that affect the vitamin D level in people.

The dependent variable is a variable that is affected by the independent variable or depends on the independent variable, vitamin level is the dependent variable.

How can cells from the same organism have such different shapes and functions?
Savatey [412]

Answer: As each cell differentiates, the <em>DNA </em>changes so that each type of cell has different <em>DNA</em> once it reaches maturity. Mutations in the cells’ nuclei lead to new combinations of <em>DNA</em>, resulting in different shapes and functions in the different types of cells.

Hope this helps!

The example given above is a type of camouflage through concealing coloration. Concealing coloration includes having a fixed camouflage and changing the camouflage depending on the environment. Grey rabbits cannot exhibit camouflage as the backgroud is dark rocks and light stones. As a result, these rabbits are clearly visible to the predators and get elimiated by them.
