Hello!
An initial observation is the first thing a scientist notices about a topic before conducting the experiment. We can see that it is the first thing in the paragraph in this case, that dandelions grow as unwanted weeds in many lawns.
The hypothesis is the guess about the result of an experiment made before the experiment is conducted. In this case, it is that a weed killer (Killimal) would kill all the dandelions while leaving the grass healthy. This is not specifically a guess made by the scientist, but more like a prediction he wanted to verify.
An independent variable is the variable being changed in the experiment by the scientist. Here, it is whether Killimal was sprayed or not.
The dependent variable is the variable being measured, and the one being affected by the independent variable. His observation would be whether the grass and dandelions would be killed. This is because the weed killer would be directly affecting whether or not these would be killed.
The control variables are ones which are kept the same in the experiment as to not interfere with the final results. In this case, it would be the density of dandelions, the amount of sunlight, and the amount the plants were watered. These were kept exactly the same, as they could've affected the dependent variable if changed.
The control group was the one that is not impacted by the independent variable. The control group makes sure that it actually is the independent variable affecting the dependent, and it isn't some outside unknown variable. This would be the plot without the Killimal.
The experimental group is the one being experimented on from the independent variable. This would be the plot with the Killimal.
Hope this helps!
A) Sediment builds up over organisms :)
The answer is D. learned behavior.
A change in behavior of an organism takes place due an experience is called learning. Animals learn behavior in many ways. On such way is given the question that anole lizard ate bright red butterfly instead small insects which are its normal food and became ill. Anole lizard learned through experience that bright red insects are not its food. Thus, a learned behavior is one that an organism develops by encountering experience.
Answer:
"Genetic makeup" is the appropriate choice.
Explanation:
- The phrase "Genetic makeup" refers to something like the factors that regulate how much those who look with as well as what physicochemical traits visitors possess.
- They seem to be someone's genotype, but once those genetic mutations have been demonstrated, you illustrate or highlight your phenotype.
