A zoology student is investigating whether it is true that the gender of turtles depends on the temperature at which the turtle

eggs are kept before they hatch. He will test if turtle eggs incubated at 29–30 degrees Celsius produce females, and eggs at 24–26 degrees Celsius produce males. What is the independent variable?

The independent variable is the temperature. Independent variable refers to the  variable in an experiment that can be changed by the scientists or the one making the experiment. A good experiments has a single independent variable and the changes observed will be the dependent variable. In this case, the dependent variable is the gender of the turtle.

Why are gymnosperms no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses?
erastovalidia [21]

Gymnosperms are no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses because they have evolved to produce non-flagellated pollens that do not require water or moisture to reach the egg whereas ferns and mosses have flagellated sperm that needs moisture to swim towards the egg.

Another major evolutionary adaption in gymnosperms is the production of seeds instead of spores since seeds contain their own nutrition in the form of endosperm, seeds can travel large distances through wind or animals and can germinate when they find suitable conditions. Seeds can remain dormant for several years whereas spores have a shorter lifespan.

babymother [125]

Answer:

<em>Digested food is a source of potential energy</em>

Explanation:

When we digest food, the molecules of the food are broken down into smaller compounds. Chemical energy is released due to this process. Chemical energy can be used to form glucose and fat. These molecules store energy in them. When energy is required by the body, the glucose molecules can be converted into ATP and hence give energy. This energy can be used for various purposes such as it can be converted into mechanical energy for muscle movements.
