Answer 1

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The independent variable used in study are - different concentrations of drug used for treatment.

We basically made use of two groups in the experiment, control and treatment.

In control group cells are only incubated in media without drug.

While in treatment group cells are treated with different concentrations of drugs.

These two groups provide the idea that actually effect of drug on cell proliferation. Control group growth will be taken as 100% . And cell growth in presence of drug will be compared with control group to see he effect of drug on cell proliferation.

Both drugs have different toxicity on cells. Gossypol is highly toxic than Fx11. So lower concentration drug has been used for gossypol and a higher range is used for Fx11 in the experiment.
