Answer:
The Adaptationist Fallacy can prove very costly to biologist who are assuming it wrong according to the function in the environment. Let us have an example of the phenotype of wheat diploid breed that produces non-bearded grains variety, but we cannot assume it as a beneficial phenotype without further extensive research. After research, we came to know that there is also a major hexaploid bearded variety, that produces more number of grains. That's how, the Adaptationist Fallacy may prove fatal if we have assumed diploid as a major beneficial phenotype.
Answer:
The fourth plant that receives pure water is the control group.
Explanation:
The election of a control group is essential in an experiment. Its principal purpose is to allow the discrimination of the results obtained by the treatment in the study, in this case, <em>the different concentrations of salty water that each plant receives</em>. The control group provides a reference point. It must be selected from the same population of the treatment groups. Both groups must be similar in every variable that might influence the results, <u>except for the study treatment.</u>
