The independent variable in an experiment is where what you would change.
So since this experiment is to test for different brands of antibacterial soap, therefore lupe changes the type of soap in each petri dish.
So the independent variable is a, the brands of antibacterial soap.

However, the type of bacteria grows is constant, and it should be the controlled variable. And the tenth petri dish should be the control of the experiment.

Answer:

The correct answer is "The brand of antibacterial soap "

Explanation:

An independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is changed by the scientist. Independent variables are also known as manipulated variables.

In Lupe's experiment, the independent variable is the brand of soap.

In controlled scientific experiments, only one variable should be changed at a time (i.e., there should only be one independent variable per experiment). If only one variable is changed, then it is possible to clearly relate experimental results to a particular variable.

The nurse finds the client who has had an ileostomy crying. the client explains to the nurse, "i am upset because i know i will
EleoNora [17]
Ileostomy is a procedure where the end of the small intestine, called the ileum, is brought out of an opening in the belly through surgery. The opening is called a stoma, and its shiny, bright red in color. It is often done after the large intestine has been removed due to cancer or serious physical injuries. Having a stoma, and the need of emptying it several times a day, is disfiguring so the patient often suffer from poor self image. The patient in the case, may be concerned of being unable to continue romantic relationships due to having a stoma. As a nurse, make sure to first make patient understand that ileostomy surgery does not involve the reproductive organs or the gonads. Then, acknowledge that while having a stoma is disfiguring, many organizations are helping increase awareness and acceptance of those who have the condition. Refer the patient to such local stoma advocacy organizations.

Delicious77 [7]

This is a difficult question because the paragraph says that the scientists found the crater was dated back to the time the dinosaurs became extinct according to the fossil record, so that would make it true, but what it does not say is where they got the fossil record from or how the fossil record is correct, so that would make it false. So I would put it in as false.

Classify each definition or example as a somatic mutation, gametic (germline) mutation, or both.
Kryger [21]

Somatic mutation 

This happens in a single cell of a developing somatic tissue. This cell is the progenitor of a population of identical mutant cells, all of which have descended from the cell that mutated. Additionally, they do not occur in cells that give rise to gametes; therefore, the mutation cannot be passed on to descendants by sexual means. Somatic mutation are often called acquired mutation because the change in genetic structure is not inherited from a parent for they do not affect the germline. Thus, to maintain the mutation, the individual containing the mutation must be clone.

Example: In red delicious apple, the mutant allele that determine the golden color of an apple arose in a flower’s ovary wall, which eventually developed into a fleshy part of the apple. The seeds are not mutant so it will still give rise to red apple tree. Therefore, the golden delicious apple originally arose from a mutant branch of a red delicious apple tree.

Germline mutation

If a gene is altered in a germ cell, the mutation is called germinal mutation. Germline tissue is set aside in the course of development to form sex cells. Germ cells gives rise to gametes, so if a mutant sex cell participates in the fertilization, then the mutation will be passed on to the next generation. Moreover, germinal mutations will not be expressed in the individual containing the mutation.

<span>Example: A hereditary case of albinism are often link to germline mutation where individual of this disorder are more prone to many types of cancers and may have impaired visions.</span>
