Harvester ants often strip a bush of all of its leaves. Some people believe this helps the plant grow thicker, healthier stems.

In an experiment, a student stripped off all the leaves from a set of plants. In a second set of identical plants, the student allowed ants to strip off the plants' leaves. In order to improve this experimental design, it is most important to add a set of plants

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the control group of plants with leaves on them.

Explanation:

Harvester ants are the ants which collect the seeds of the plants and store them as a source of food in their nests in soil.

The experimenter observes that stripping of the plant leaves by the ant increases the thickness. The experiment was designed to study the thickness of the stem with one group in which the leaves were stripped by the humans and one group with leaves stripped by the ants.  

These cases represent the experimental groups in which stem thickness will differ but it lacked the control group which will have the plants with their leaves present on them and preventing them from stripping by human and ants.

This control group will provide a reference to the experimental groups and will improve the experiment.

Thus, the control group of plants with leaves on them is the correct answer.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The best method of investigation that a scientist can use in an investigation of twins separated at birth - as in the case of Trinna and Suzanne - is a case study.

Explanation:

The case study is a qualitative research strategy that can be used in both biology, psychology and sociology, even combining these disciplines. Take an observed phenomenon, sometimes unique, looking for an explanation based on the examination and the elaboration of hypotheses.

Trinna, despite being an identical twin, developed a shorter stature and habits different from Suzanne, probably due to her growth in different environments.

The objective of the case study would be to demonstrate how the growth of twins in different settings may have caused physical and cultural differences in these identical twins.

Explain why mitosis does not produce genetic variation and how meiosis leads to the production of tremendous genetic variation.
VladimirAG [237]
Mitosis produces cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis includes two distinct processes that contribute to the generation of
genetic variation: crossing over shuffles alleles on the same chromosome
into new combinations, whereas the random distribution of maternal and
paternal chromosomes shuffles alleles on different chromosomes into new

What is th advantage of this type of reproduction in paramecium?
eduard
The advantage of asexual reproduction (binary fission) in paramecium is a large number of offspring that are reproduced very fast. Large number colonies which are formed that way may survive and compete with other organisms. Another advantage is that this type of reproduction doesn’t acquire energy for finding a mate.  
<span>The advantage of sexual reproduction is that offspring reproduced sexually are different (asexually have genetically identical offspring).</span>
