Suppose a scientist developed a hypothesis stating that a certain substance slowed down the growth of chili pepper plants. Briefly describe a controlled experiment the scientist could conduct to test the hypothesis. Identify the controlled variables, the independent variable(s), and the dependent variable(s).

Answer from: lizzymikaelson22

The experiment consists of three different treatments:

1- Fifty (50) chili pepper plants treated with the substance X suspected to slow down the growth

2- Fifty (50) no treated chili pepper plants that grown in normal conditions

3- Fifty (50) chili pepper plants treated with a substance known to slow down the growth (positive control)

Dependent variable: plant growth

Independent variable: the amount of substance x (suspected to slow down plant growth)

Explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured, while the independent variable isn't changed by the other variables in the experiment. In this case, the question is how chili pepper plants grow in response to the substance x, which is suspected to slow down the plant growth. During the experimentation, the plant growth will represent the dependent variable being analyzed. On the other hand, chili pepper growth will be in response to changes in the amount of substance x the plants receive, therefore being the independent variable.

Hypothesis development for substance.

A hypothesis is a temporary or tentative arrangement or explanation that is made for the experiment on the basis of an assumption. The experiments highlight the development of certain substances that slowed down to the growth of the chili pepper plans.

Thus the answer is slow growth, normal growth, and positive fast growth.

The assumed experiment consists of 3 treatments. As the first (50) chili pepper plants treated with substance X tend to slow down the growth. The second plant shows a grown in normal conditions. The 3rd plant sows the slow down the growth (positive control).Thus the dependent variable is then planted growth and the independent variable is substance X.

The gene that causes sickle-cell disease is present in a higher percentage of residents of sub-saharan africa than among those of african descent living in the united states. even though this gene causes sickle-cell disease, it also provides some protection from malaria, a serious disease that is widespread in sub-saharan africa but absent in the united states. discuss an evolutionary process that could account for the different percentages of the sickle-cell gene among residents of the two regions.
