Astudent does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. the student keeps a cricket in an enclosed box that is heated to different temperatures each day for twelve days. the student records the cricket’s chirps by using a sound-activated microphone so the timing of the chirps can be measured. which is the dependent variable in this experiment?
a)size of the box
b)temperature of the box
c)timing of the cricket’s chirps
d)volume of the cricket’s chirps

b

Explanation:

ye

The dependent variable in this experiment is C: timing of the cricket’s chirps.

Explanation:

The independent variable can show different values that do not depend on another variable. Instead, they directly affect the values of the dependents ones.

During an investigation, a researcher can study, under controlled conditions, how one of the variables influences the other one. The independent variable can be manipulated by the researcher, while the dependent one can not. A hypothesis is a claim of how it works this relation.

In the example, the relation is given by how temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. So "temperature" is the independent variable and "timing of a cricket´s chirp" the dependent one. Controlled conditions are the size of the box and the temperature degrees in the box. The volume of the cricket’s chirps could be a dependent variable but it was not measured in this experiment.

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
