Bright Light: Mary wanted to conduct an experiment to determine if the color of light changes how a plant grows. She selected fo

ur different colors of light to use: red, white (normal), green, and blue. She used the same type of plants, gave them the same amount of water and exposed them to the same amount of light each day. She grew 3 plants in each light for one month and measured each plant's growth twice a week. After one month, she found that plants grow best in white light. Identify the independent variable.

Answer:

color of light

Explanation:

<em>The independent variable is the variable that is supplied and often varied/manipulated by the researcher during the course of experiments. It is varied/manipulated in order to see the effect it will produce on another experimental variable - the dependent variable.</em>

In this case, out of all the variables supplied by Mary, only the color of light supplied was varied - red, white, green, and blue; other variables supplied were kept constant. Hence, <u>the independent variable is the color of light.</u>

There are two basic ideas that are key to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The first is that present day species are descendants of
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Natural selection is the driving force to explain the mechanisms  of  evolution.

Explanation:

◼In a given population Organisms usually produce more offspring than what the environment can support.  

◼ VARIATION, is driving force  for  the manifestation of  sustainable inheritable characteristics from parents in a given population.

◼ Organisms, who acquired certain characteristics from variation; tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.

◼There is competition for the available resources among the offspring which leads to a stable population in size after a period of time.

◼Darwin deducted that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).Therefore natural selection takes place, and the organisms with best variation will have selective advantage above others. Consequently they have higher survival rates compare to others in the population.

This is   survival of the fittest by natural selection , this is the second conclusion  of Darwin theory.
