The independent variable is the amount of water consumed by the football players.
The dependent variable is the football players' endurance, measured by how many times they can run up and down the bleachers before catching their breaths.
The coach's hypothesis was that the more water consumed, the more endurance the players will have.
There is not a control group present in this experiment, but it would be the set of players who did not drink a bottle of water before practice.
The experimental group is the set of players who did drink a bottle of water before practice.
The constants in the experiment are the operational definitions of endurance (how he measures their endurance), the amount of water each player drinks throughout the week, and the players used in the experiment.
The lack of a set control group poses a threat to the accuracy of the experiment's results.
Answer:
25% or 1/4
Explanation:
The gene for colour in Heliodors is controlled by two contrasting alleles that codes for Red (R) and Yellow (Y) colours. However, these two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, which is a phenomenon whereby a combination of both alleles gives rise to a third intermediate phenotype that is a blending of the other two parental phenotypes. In this case, both colours gives rise to a heterozygous Orange coloration (RY) in Heliodors.
However, if two orange Heliodors (RY) are crossed, four possible offsprings will be produced with the genotypes: RR, RY, RY, YY. This shows a phenotypic ratio of 1 red: 2orange: 1yellow. Hence, the probability of having a child with red coloration is 1 out of 4 possible offsprings i.e. 1/4.
Expressing this in percentage, we have 1/4 × 100 = 25%.
The organs that are involved in the excretion of water from the body include:
1. Kidneys (Primary organ for water removal)
2. Skin
3. Lungs
The kidneys play a key role in maintaining the water balance of the body. The kidneys control the water levels in the body by conserve water when there is shortage, and they can expel excess water by diluting the urine.
The skin has water in it. This water gets lost to the atmosphere by the process of evaporation. This is independent of the process of sweating wherein the skin actively releases water in the form of sweat to cool the body.
Our breath has a lot of moisture in it. This moisture is present due to the evaporation process taking place within the lungs due to the heat of the body. Thus lungs also become a part of the water loss mechanism.
Answer: A. 1
Mangrove swamps are wetland ecosystem found in the coastal area. These are found in regions where water body and terrestrial land meets. These ecosystem are dominated by mangrove trees due to their ability to servive in harsh saline water conditions. The roots of mangrove trees exhibit salt filteration system. These trees are habitat of many bird and animal species. The roots of these trees provide shelter, to underwater aquatic plant and animal species such as algea, prawns, sponges and fishes. Mangroves trees and algea are primary producers of the food chain in mangrove ecosytem. Mangrove tree leaves are eaten up by herbivores insects and algal species are consumed by large number of sea animals. Hence, mangrove tree and algea will be on the 1 number of the food chain.
