A scientist is conducting an experiment to test the effect of vitamin D on the growth of mice two groups of mice are raised and identical conditions and fed the same diet one group is given daily injections of vitamin D the other group is given daily injection of saline solution which is the control group in the experiment

Mice given daily injection of saline solution

Explanation:

Control group are used to make comparism in an experiment because they are standards.

Most experiment have a control group as it is used as a check for the performance of the experimental group. Control group and the experimental groups are usually identical but are not always subjected to any treatment as the case with experimental groups this treatment should have an effect on the outcome of interest while the control group is not.

The mice given vitamin D is the experimental group while the one given saline solution is the control. Saline solution is not the same as vitamin D, saline is a solution of salt and water to sustain the mice it is not a vitamin D treatment hence no change is expected of it but the group with Vitamin D treatment are the experimental group.

the answer is d (apex) good luck : ))

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
