The answer is A, population growth increases .

—Explanation—
•] The definition of limiting factor; anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing.
•]Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources.
•] So if the limiting factor is removed then the population begins to expand due to not having a factor that limits each species quantity.

The correct answer is option (A) Variation in the strawberry plants.

When the effect of fertilizer on the growth of two strawberry plants is tested, unavoidable source of experimental error is the variation in the strawberry plants. Variation refers to the deviation or differences from the normal plant which can be due to genetic variation. It is due to change in the DNA sequence. If any one of the two plants being tested show variation, the rate of metabolism differs and changes the growth pattern of the plant. The rate of absorption of water and nutrients is effected which brings change in the growth of the plant and causes an error in the experiment and the result.

Answer and Explanation:

The steps of the scientific method are

1) A question the investigator wants to answer.

2) Antecedents or Previous knowledge about the study object.

3) The goal, which is what the investigator wants to know.

4) The hypothesis that the investigator makes in order to predict what is going to happen.

5)The experiment is performed to answer the question.

6) Results achievement

7) Conclusions where the hypothesis is rejected or accepted.

In the case of the exposed example,

Question: How does the amount of sunlight affect the extent of flower production?
Previous knowledge and antecedents about solar radiation influencing different plant growth and flowering. Information about the species of interest. Other studies or investigations performed in relation to this question.
Objective/Goal: To study the influence of sunlight in flowering
Hypothesis: Too many hours of radiation affect flowering production
Experiment: (Example)

Native species are going to be planted in the garden to observe their growth and flower production at different exposure levels to sunlight. Native species will be planted, as they are used to the environmental conditions and they do not need extra care, as a cultivated species would. More than one individual is needed to ensure their establishment. All the species will be watered according to each species needs and location. Plagues will be equally controlled.

3 native individuals of a herbaceous plant, 3 native individuals of a woody plant, and 3 native grass plants are located in a sunny section that receives straight sun radiation during the whole light hours.

3 native individuals of a herbaceous plant, 3 native individuals of a woody plant, and 3 native grass plants are located in a sunny section that receives sun radiation during half a day

3 native individuals of a herbaceous plant, 3 native individuals of a woody plant, and 3 native grass plants are located in a shaded section.

Plants will be grown and the flowering process will be recorded by season in relation to the number of flowers, sizes, quality, and pollinizer visitors which will reflect the amount and quality of nectar.

6 y 7. Every recorded result will be then analyzed to conclude.

Suggest appropriate sources of food to meet their requirements for a Newborn baby and child aged 6.

pashok25 [27]

Explanation:

Calcium . Helps build strong bones and teeth.

Fat. Creates energy, helps the brain develop, keeps skin and hair healthy, and protects against infections.

Folate. Helps cells divide.

Iron. Builds blood cells, and helps the brain develop. Breast-fed babies should receive iron supplements.

Protein and carbohydrates. They provide energy and fuel growth.

Zinc. Helps the cells grow and repair themselves

Your baby also needs vitamins such as:

Vitamin A. Keeps skin, hair, vision, and the immune system healthy.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine). Helps the body turn food into energy.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Helps the body turn food into energy, and protects cells from damage.

Vitamin B3 (niacin). Helps the body turn food into energy and use fats and protein.

Vitamin B6. Keeps the brain and immune system healthy.

Vitamin B12. Keeps nerve and blood cells healthy, and makes DNA -- the genetic material in every cell.

Vitamin C. Protects against infections, builds bones and muscles, and helps wounds heal.

Vitamin D. Helps the body absorb calcium from food, and keeps bones and teeth healthy. Breast-fed babies may need a D supplement.

Vitamin E. Protects cells from damage, and strengthens the immune system.

Vitamin K. Helps the blood to clot.
