A student wants to perform an experiment to test the effect of different colored lights on the growth of basil plants. She sets

up an experiment where multiple basil plants are placed in six different setups; one with red light, one with green light, one with yellow light, one with blue light, one with no light and one with sunlight. In each setup the plant receives the same amount of water, soil, and size of container. What is the independent variable in this experiment

Answer:

light is the independent variable, height of the plant is the dependent variable. Dependent is the effect that based on the independent.

Explanation:

lets break it down. 1) you want to know the effect of something you apply from one thing to another. Let say, if you grow your plants under the sunlight, the plants grow taller. In this case, the sunshine is the independent variable whereas the height of the plant/how tall it can grow is the dependent variable. 2)NOW, before i give the answer. The design of the question is not good for high school students. i think your teacher thinks "light" is the independent variable. 3)However, the question contains confounding variables in it because different lights might produce different effects to the height of the plants. If you want to test if plants are exposed to light grows taller than plants do not expose to light, then you should have all the lights are the same. 4) So, all the plants should be exposed to one certain light to avoid confounding. Confounding means that either red light and sunlight are both produce the same effect whereas the other colors do not help the plants to grow taller. 5)Your teacher should test one light at a time. So, if he is testing with all different colors of light, then light is the independent variable, and height of the plant is the dependent variable.

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Translocation is a chromosomal defect in which part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome.

Translocation can happen due to many reasons like:

A) Some of the changes that arise around the time of conception  or production of sperm or egg.

B) The inheritance of altered chromosome from father or mother.

Translocations can be divided into two forms:

  • Reciprocal translocation
  • Robertsonian translocation.

In reciprocal translocations,  fragments of two chromosomes break off from two different places, break and swap each other's segments. While in  Robertsonian translocation one chromosome attached with other.

Hope it help!

If the stomata remain closed due to water loss, what happens to the concentration of CO2 and O2 in the leaf
Temka [501]

Answer:

Fixation of oxygen occur instead of carbondioxide.

Explanation:

If the stomata remain closed due to water loss, the concentration of carbondioxide decreases and oxygen increases in the leaf because of the fixation of oxygen instead of carbondioxide by rubisco. The plant takes carbondioxide from the atmosphere when the stomata is open so when the stomata is closed there is no other way for getting carbondioxide into the leave so the oxygen is now being fixed by our rubisco enzyme to that five-carbon compound instead of carbon dioxide.

How did the extinction of the dinosaurs affect the evolution of mammals
Ivahew [28]

After the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs (birds being the only surviving dinosaurs) and several mammalian groups, placental and marsupial mammals diversified into many new forms and ecological niches throughout the Paleogene and Neogene, by the end of which all modern orders had appeared.
