Answer:
The correct answer is dependent. 
Explanation:
A variable whose variation does not rely upon that of another is known as the independent variable. An independent variable is modified or monitored within an experiment to examine the influence on the dependent variable. On the other hand, the variable that is being measured and examined within an experiment is termed as the dependent variable.  
The flowering pattern is being considered as the dependent variable as the pattern of flowering relies upon the concentration of light exposed by the plant.  
 
        
             
        
        
        
A zoologist analyzes the jawbones of an extinct mammal and concludes that it was an herbivore. The zoologist most likely came to this conclusion based on the shape of the teeth.
Animals that consume plants, such as deer, elephants, cows, and many others, are known as herbivores. They eat a range of vegetables, fruits, grasses, grains, and other foods depending on the habitat of the specific animal, hence they are essentially vegetarians. 
The broad, flat teeth of herbivores are perfect for chopping up the plant material they consume. These animals' teeth enable them to break down the fibers in their food, making it much simpler for them to digest.
Plant-eating animals known as herbivores have large, flat molars and sharp incisors. They don't own any dogs. The incisors, canines, and molars of omnivores are used for a range of foods. The teeth of herbivores are designed to crush and ground vegetation.

The environmental effects of an individual or group in terms of resources used and waste produced is an individual or group's ecological footprint (option A). 
<h3>What is ecological footprint?</h3>
Ecological footprint is the measure of how much biologically productive land and water area an individual, population or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates using prevailing technology and resource management practices.
Living organisms make use of resources in the environment and these can either leave negative or positive effect on the environment that will affect sustainability. 
Therefore, it can be said that the environmental effects of an individual or group in terms of resources used and waste produced is an individual or group's ecological footprint.

Answer:
Explanation:A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input. Once this initial energy is added, the wave travels through the medium until all its energy is transferred. In contrast, electromagnetic waves require no medium, but can still travel through one.
