Answer:

Group receiving saline.

Explanation:

The vitamin are the important chemical compounds that are required in the body in the small amounts. Two main types of vitamin are water soluble vitamin and fat soluble vitamin.

Whether testing for any chemical or drug, the research must include the controlled group and the experiment group. In the given experiment the effect of vitamin D is observed in the rats. The experiment group receive the testing chemicals and the control group includes some other chemicals by which the effects on the experimental group can be compared. The group that receiving saline is considered as control group.

Thus, the answer is group receiving saline.

Answer:

The other group received injections of saline, which did not contain vitamin D

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is performed to test the predicted hypothesis of natural phenomenon.

The experiment is designed in which the samples are divided into to groups that are the group which receive the treatment called experimental group and the group which do not receive the treatment and thus remains same throughout the experiment called control experiment.

The control samples are required in the experiment to compare the effect of the dependent variable and thus control group acts as a reference to the experimental group. In the given question, since the test was performed to study the effect of vitamin D on the growth of the rat so the group which will not receive the Vitamin D treatment will be considered a control group.  

Therefore the sample which has received saline instead of vitamin D in the control group.

iragen [17]

To be reasonably sure that your observation will apply to the group you are studying, you should select a sample from the population and ensure that the selection is unbiased. The participants are selected at random to ensure that all the individuals in the group get equal chance of being represented in the sample. This removes the sampling bias in the sample.
