Answer: An independent variable, sometimes called an experimental or predictor variable, is a variable that is being manipulated in an experiment in order to observe the effect on a dependent variable, sometimes called an outcome variable.

Explanation: Example: What is a good outcome variable for deciding whether cancer treatment in a country has been improving?

A first thought might be "number of deaths in the country from cancer in one year." But number of deaths might increase simply because the population is increasing. Or it might go down if cancer incidence is decreasing. "Percent of the population that dies of cancer in one year" would take care of the first problem, but not the second.

This example makes the point that a rate is often a better measure than a count.

If this is just based off the independent variable it would be the outcome of the manipulation what happens to your dependent variable you give one plant fertilizer the other one none which plant grows better is the outcome variable

mezya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that two or more populations of toads will form that are genetically distinct from each other because the toads will eventually become isolated on each island. This is mainly due to one population beating out the other in each island and/or adapting the the unique features of the island.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

A malaria outbreak causing allele frequencies to change is an example of natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a type of selection in which those organisms are favoured to live and reproduce which are better adapted to live in an environment. Due to natural selection, the allele frequencies of a population will tend to change with the passage of time.

When the outbreak of malaria occurs, those organisms which do not catch malaria are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings. the other organisms die and do not reproduce. This will cause changes in the allele frequencies.
