Drew observed in an experiment that algae in a nearby lake could be found at six meters below the water's surface on a clear day. On a cloudy day, Drew noted that the algae sat only one meter below the surface of the water. What was the dependent variable in Drew's experiment? the lake that Drew observed the depth at which Drew found the algae the amount of algae measured the sky conditions on a particular day

The depth at which Drew found the algae

Explanation:

The dependent variable was the depth at which he found the algae, because that is what he measured on each day.

The independent variable was the sky conditions, since that changed from clear to cloudy, which impacted the dependent variable/the depth of the algae.

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
