While eating a piece of fruit, a group of scientists noticed that some had fruit that was spoiled while others didn't. One scien

tist said they left their fruit on the counter, another left theirs in the fridge, and one left theirs in the freezer. They decided to conduct an experiment to determine where fruit should be stored so it stays fresh longer. The fruit of choice was granny smith apples that were bought at the same time and were the same size. One apple was left on the counter, another in the fridge, one in the freezer, one was left outside on a porch, and a final apple was left in the microwave. All remained in their locations for one week and they tested which apple was freshest. In this experiment, what is the independent variable? A. Type of apple B. Where the apples were left C. Amount of time apples were left out D. Freshness of apple

Answer:

"where the apples were left"

Explanation:

In the scenario being described the independent variable would be "where the apples were left". This is because where the apple was left does not depend on any other factor for the results to be affected. The freshness of the apple would be the dependent variable because it depends on where the apple was left and for how long, while the amount of time is the controlled variable in this scenario because it remains constant for all groups and was chosen by the scientists.

Sort the questions based on whether they are better answered by an observational study or a controlled experiment.
s2008m [1.1K]

Although the actual questions are missing from your ask, here's how you can tell.

If the study will be messed up (added bias) through interaction with the subjects the study should be observational. For example if a biologists wanted to study the eating habits of wild birds in the tropics, they would need to do an observational study. if they did a controlled experiment, the birds will change their eating habits based on human interaction, thus making the study invalid.

If the study requires specific measurements, close monitoring, or contact and interaction with the subjects the study should be a controlled experiment. For example, if a scientist wanted to test out a new drug, the health of patients would need to be closely monitored.

how are mitochondrial genes typically inherited? an individual randomly inherits their mitochondrial dna from either parent. an
dybincka [34]

An individual inherits their mitochondrial DNA from their mother.

The little circular chromosome contained inside mitochondria is called mitochondrial DNA. These organelles are the heart of the cell and are present in all eukaryotic cells. The only way for mitochondria and their DNA to be transmitted from mother to child is through the egg cell.

Mitochondrial inheritance: The mitochondria in this particular type of inheritance have their own DNA. Only illnesses resulting from mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are solely passed down through mothers.

Because sperm contain few mitochondria and these break down after fertilization, an individual's mitochondrial DNA is solely acquired from the mother.
