group?

Triss [41]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

During an experiment, data from an experimental group are compared with the data of a control group. These two sets are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals. This variable keeps constant in the control group.

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups.

In the control group, the variable measured keeps constant, not influencing the results. This isolates the effect of the independent variable on the experiment and helps to find alternative explanations to the different results.

In the exposed example:

  • Control group: Certain amounts of fishes exposed to a normal number of light hours per day. For example, if under natural conditions in its original environment the species is exposed to 12 hour light, then the control group should be exposed constantly to 12 hours light a day to maintain its normal reproductive levels.
  • Experimental group: Certain amounts of fishes, equal to the control group, exposed to a different number of light hours per day. For example, there might be 5 experimental groups: one of them exposed to 4 hours light, a second group exposed to 8 hours light, the third group exposed to 12 hours light (The same as the control group), the fourth group exposed to 16 hours light, and the fifth group exposed to 20 hours light.

Except for light, the rest of the variables should be the same for all the groups.

What are the differences between white blood cells and normal eukaryotic cells?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

White blood cells (WBCs) are specialized to respond to antigen and produce antibodies as well as undergo phagocytosis in response to toxic stimuli.

WBCs are part of immune system and there are five different kinds with specialized features.

In order to make a cell model, it is best to use a muscle cell and a nerve cell or neuron: there are pronounced structural differences and those are present throughout animal kingdom.

Lower animals ( such as insects, worms etc. ) have different immune system, however, they do have typical neuron and a muscle cell/skin cell (fibroblast). Such cell models are likely to be easy, distinct and bring you good grades without going through much complication and confusions of various organ systems and animal mod

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA
damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.
