May I please see the entire table so I can answer your question.
Answer:
The answers are:
1. initial composition of microbial community (controlled variable)
2. age of the mice (controlled variable)
3. change in body fat (dependent variable)
4. diet (independent variable)
5. weight gain (dependent variable)
6. final composition of the microbial community (controlled variable)
Explanation:
Before I go ahead to explain each of the choices of classification, let us define each of the different types of variable.
1. Independent variable: this is a variable that is under the control of the experimenter. It is made up of the factors that are being tested. In our example, the independent variables is; diet. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of the type of diet on the mice. The diet can also be varied and assigned at will by the experiment.
2. Dependent variable: a dependent variable is one whose outcome is reliant on the effect of the changes in the independent variable. It is the factor to be measured. In our example, the factors that obey these definitions are; change in body fat and weight gain. these two factors depend on the types of diet taken by the mice, hence they are the factors to be measured.
3. Controlled variable: these are variables that are kept constant throughout the experiment to rule out biases, because they produce the same effect on the dependent variable as the independent variable and must be keep constant or uniform in the test groups. in our example, the factors that are controlled include; initial and final compositions of the microbial communities and the age of the mice, because the microbial composition if not uniform among the groups can cause biases in how the diets are processed, and the age of the mice also must be uniform to avoid age-related differences in the processing of the diets
Answer:
The correct answer would be -
Punnett square is given below and on the base of the result of Punnett square, Millie should mate with <u>Denver</u> to get three different colors of puppies.
Explanation:
The question says that Millie has a genotype BB*, which is a combination or heterozygous condition of dark brown allele B and white allele B*, now cross with Denver (light brown color):
Cross 1:
B B*
B BB BB*
B* BB* B*B*
the results is : 25% dark brown, 50% light brown and 25% white.
cross 2: with Charley (white color)
B B*
B* BB* B*B*
B* BB* B*B*
there is only white and light brown puppies produced
Thus, the correct answer is - Denver.
It would be AA, Aa, and aa. That’s going left to right and the last one being aa.
Basically there are only 2 unique different allele combinations that this organism can produce in their gametes for these traits. They are AB and Ab.
