A group of biology students tests the growth of bacteria under different conditions. The students apply the same amount of bacte

ria to identical Petri dishes enriched with nutrients, then place each plate at a different temperature. The bacteria are allowed to grow for three days, after which the number of bacterial colonies on each plate is counted. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
A.
the time of day that the experiment is performed
B.
the number of bacterial colonies after three days
C.
the temperature at which the colonies grew
D.
the nutrient type present in the Petri dishes

Answer:

B. the number of bacterial colonies after three days

Explanation:

As you may already know, a scientific experiment is composed of dependent and independent variables, being necessary that you know how to recognize each one of them.

In summary, an independent variable is one that influences a situation to happen, it influences another variable and it is not necessary to suffer any influence to cause a result. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is influenced by the independent variable and needs that influence to demonstrate a result.

As we saw in the experiment above, the students applied the same amount of bacteria to identical Petri dishes enriched with nutrients and put each plate at a different temperature. This temperature will influence the growth of bacteria for three days. Thus, we can conclude that temperature is the independent variable, while the growth of bacterial colonies is the dependent variable.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

a,c,d

Explanation:

Crossing over occcur when genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosome this leads to formation of new genes that creates diversity.

homologous chromosome assort imdependently i.e seperate from each other leading to the formation of an entirely new gene that creates diversity.

Genetic recombination when gene recombines together to produce a unique type. It occurs between different species.
