Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.

Jasmine, at 33 months of age, is able to engage in some self-care behaviors but still has trouble with tasks such as putting on socks. a few months later, she accomplishes this same task relatively easily. the change in abilities is most likely due to
