you have selected the following prediction to test: Previously thinned forests will have higher tree survival than adjacent fore

sts that were not thinned. Now you need to define the key variables that you will use to test this prediction. For the following variables, sort them as independent variables, dependent variables, or variables that should be controlled (held constant)1. thinning or no thinning before the fire elevation of the site 2. dominant tree species 3. tree survival rate after the fire A. Independent variableB. Dependent variable C. Controlled variable

Answer:

A. Independent variable 2. dominant tree species

B. Dependent variable  3. tree survival rate after the fire

C. Controlled variable 1. thinning or no thinning before the fire elevation of the site

Explanation:  

A. An independent variable doesn't undergo changes during the experiment because it is not conditioned by other variables in the experiment. In this example, dominant tree species represent a variable that is independent of the experiment itself.

B. A dependent variable is those that you need to measure and depends on the other factors in the experiment. In this example, tree survival is dependent on the factors that affect the results (i.e. humidity in the trees, presence of resinous material in the trees that are non-combustible, etc.)

C. A controlled variable is those that we use to observe an expected outcome in the experiment and therefore it is used to compare with the test group. In this case, thinning or no thinning are used as positive and negative controls, respectively, because they enable their comparison with the test group in the experiment.

What do the testes and ovaries produce to develop male and female characteristics?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Testes and ovaries produce  two types of hormones:

androgens (male sex hormones)

estrogens (female full hormones)

In each type of gland, both types of hormones are secreted only in different amounts: the ovaries secrete more estrogen than the androgen hormones, and the sperm inversely.

Explanation:

In testicular tissue, Leydig cells produce androgen hormones: androsterone and testosterone. The ovaries produce a group of estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones exert their effect at puberty when the glands are activated. At puberty, the pituitary gonadostimulins activate the sex glands, whose activity leads to the development of secondary sex characteristics (the appearance of first menstruation in girls, beards and mustaches in boys, etc.).
