Answer:
Independent variable: Salinity/Salt concentration
Dependent variable: hatching rate
Explanation:
As rightly stated in this question, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response while the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. Dependent variable as the name implies is dependent on the independent variable.
In this question where an hypothesis was given as follows: "Hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is), then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate". The hypothesis relates the independent and dependent variables i.e. it tells us how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.
Hence, according to the hypothesis, it is telling us how a change in SALINITY OR SALT CONCENTRATION will affect HATCHING RATE. Therefore;
Independent variable: SALINITY/SALT CONCENTRATION
Dependent variable: HATCHING RATE
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Less pollution means less greenhouse gasses being emitted.
Answer: Only Options A, C and E are correct
A) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
C) Sympatric speciation does not require geographic isolation.
E) Sympatric speciation can be due to sexual(mate) selection
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:
> live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e not living in isolation)
> DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory which results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species of the parents organisms.
Thymine has a methyl group and is better suited for the storage property of the DNA molecule as it is far more stable compared to Uracil.
RNA contain Uracil instead of thymine so as to make differentiation of RNA molecule from DNA molecules easier.
