The experiment's correlation between the dependent and independent variables may be invalidated if a control variable changes.
Why is it important to keep some variables constant in an experiment?Relies heavily on constant variables. Without these factors, drawing inferences would be challenging, we wouldn't have internal validity, and any results we did get would be somewhat ambiguous.
So that you can only observe the impact of the one variable (the independent variable) that you are trying to evaluate, all the other variables should be kept constant (you control them). Most experiments, like the one we used, involve more than one controlled variable.
With the exception of the independent variable, all conditions should be kept as equal as feasible between two participants using a controlled variable. This makes it possible for researchers to closely examine the impact the independent variable has on the dependent variable.

Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included both dark, rocky lava outcrops and light, rocky, granite areas. They recorded substrate color, and coat-color frequencies for each location. Each site was separated from any of the others by at least eight kilometers. The researchers trapped a total of 275 mice. Their data are summarized below (numbers have been slightly modified for the purposes of this worksheet).

1. Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on light-colored substrates.
2. Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on dark-colored substrates.
3.Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation and data from the table above, determine the frequency of the three genotypes on the light, rocky, granite substrate.
4. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation and data from the table above, determine the frequency of the three genotypes on the dark, rocky lava substrate.
5. Which fur color seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage?
6.What environmental change gave a selective advantage for one coat color over another?
7. In a separate study, 76 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Arizona. The other three were in New Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three New Mexico locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Arizona population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 76 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Arizona mice were absent from the three different populations of New Mexico mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the New Mexico populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases. How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
8. To determine if the rock pocket mouse population is evolving, explain why it is necessary to collect fur color frequency data over a period of many years.
Answer:
1)
frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.74frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.262)
frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.873)
q² = 0.74p² = 0.02 2pq = 0.244)
q² = 0.13p² = 0.42pq = 0.465)
The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage
6)
Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.
7)
Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
8)
To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

What is the reaction for photosynthesis?
Answer:
The carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight become new energy (stored in a sugar molecule called glucose, C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The original elements that make up carbon dioxide and water are never lost or destroyed during the process.
Answer:
I would most likely react in a positive way. Photosysntesis is pretty cool! I would probably say woow! or gasp loudly. However reactions to vary based on the individual i know many people who find the color green disgusting. For this reason they would probably say "ew" or "urgh" and be fairly negative.

Explanation:
Living system can be defined as the internal systems found in living organisms and how various materials are circulated inside organisms.
Generally, these living systems are self-organized life forms and are known to be very much interactive with their surroundings or environment. Also, living systems are dependent on the flow of information, matter and energy at various levels.
Some examples of living systems in organisms are respiratory system, nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system.
Additionally, living systems comprises of the following components; cells, organs, muscle, tissues, blood, etc.
Organs can be defined as specialized body tissues united to perform specific functions in living organisms. Some examples of organs found in humans are brain, bladder, kidney, heart, intestine, eyes, lungs, liver, etc.
A liver refers to a large, essential organ that is reddish-brown in color which is used to synthesize proteins, secrete bile, and the detoxification of metabolites.
Glycogenolysis can be defined as a process which typically involves the breaking down of the primary carbohydrates (glycogen) present in liver into glucose so as to maintain blood glucose rates and provide necessary energy for living organisms.
Hence, the true statement is that liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose to the blood.

refers to the Linnaeus' method of naming species
using a unique two-word name made up of the genus and species name.
O cell organelle
O level of cladistics
O binomial nomenclature
O method of taxonomy
Answer:
binomial nomenclature
Explanation:
Binomial nomenclature as the name implies (binomial = two, nomenclature = naming) is a system of naming organisms that comprises of two unique Latin word names. The binomial nomenclature is a system of naming that was proposed by the man referred to as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY, CAROLUS LINNAEUS.
According to this system of naming organisms, the two names are the generic and specific epithet of the organism respectively. For example, in dog, which is Canis familiaris, Canis is the generic name while familiaris is the specific name.
Describe the connection between limiting factors and invasive spicies
Answer: factors that limit a population size are limiting factors. Biotic potential is the amount of organisms that could be supported in an ecosystem if plenty of resources were available. Factors that cause a population to increase are 1)births: the number of births in a population in a certain period of time. 2) immigration: when organisms move INTO a population.
Explanation:
some examples of limiting factors are natural hazards, amount of food, amount/quality of water and air, predators deforestation.

What if cellular respiration did not occur
Answer:
cellular respiration is a process that needs oxygen, so when oxygen is not present, they do not happen, but there is glycolysis, which doesn't need oxygen. the process of glycolysis produces 2 ATP and that is what is needed, so to continue glycolysis, the cells go through fermentation.
Explanation:
THE ANSWER IS FERMENTATION!!!!
Answer:
If cellular respiration does not occur, then the level of oxygen present in the cell will get decreased as a result cell can die due to lack of oxygen. This is because cellular respiration provides the energy necessary for cellular activities.

Answer:
The correct answer is ''uses genetic analysis of a DNA sequence to assess evolutionary links.''
Explanation:
Molecular anthropology is a relatively recent branch, it refers to the study of biological phenomena (genetic study) at molecular levels, that is, biochemical, it allows us to understand and expand our knowledge about the evolution of the species and the complex phenomena of microevolution . It is closely related to other fields of anthropological study, among which we can mention primatology and genetics.Through molecular anthropology we are more aware of kinship, therefore, we can know human evolution over the centuries .
