attracted to yellow light. Each night for a week at 8pm, he will count the number of fish he can see around the different lights. What
is the independent variable in Sam's experiment?
the types of fish

Answer:

the different colors of light

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to effect a response in the dependent variable.

In this experiment where Sam is trying to find out if fish are attracted to different colors of light, the independent variable is the DIFFERENT COLORS OF LIGHT because it is what the experimenter changes in order to bring about a response in the dependent variable (number of fishes attracted to the light).

The karyotype of one species of primate has 48 chromosomes. In a particular female, cell division malfunctions, and she produces
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

E) Either anaphase I or II

Explanation:

Failure of segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I or failure of segregation of sister chromatids during anaphase II leads to the presence of the abnormal number of chromosomes in resultant gametes. In the given example, the egg mother cell with 48 chromosomes (24 pairs) would enter meiosis I but the failure of one pair of homologous chromosomes to segregate from each other followed by normal meiosis II would result in the formation of two gametes with one extra chromosome and two gametes with one less chromosome.

On the other hand, if the nondisjunction occurs at anaphase II of meiosis II, two normal gametes, one gamete with one extra chromosome and one gamete with one less chromosome will be formed. Therefore, nondisjunction at anaphase I or anaphase II would have resulted in the production of eggs with one extra chromosome.
