The dependent variable is what changes because of the independent variable, while the independent variable is what is purposefully changed by the experimenter, since it is the variable that is being tested.
So, in this problem, you are purposefully changing the distance of the race to see whether or not the amount of time taken to complete the race will change because of the varying distances.
This means that purposefully changing the distance of the race is the independent variable that is being tested and that the amount of time that the runner takes to complete the race is the dependent variable because it changes due to the independent variable.
Sorry for being so wordy.
In short,
Independent variable- the one that's being tested and that is purposefully changed.
Dependent variable- the one that changes because of the independent variable.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
please upload the DNA sequence
Explanation:
All viruses have a capsid or head region that contains its genetic material. The capsid is made of proteins and glycoproteins.
The answer is (A. A warm current flows along the coast.) Currents carry cold and warm water from place to place. It's an amazing phenomenon that scientists are still trying to fully figure out. Some think it's caused by wind, others think it's caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates, but one thing's for sure, currents are VITAL for this planets life.
