Five groups of students in mr. walker's science class performed an experiment to determine the effect of salt on the boiling point of water. each group dissolved 5g of salt in 100ml of distilled water, heated the solution and recorded the boiling point with a thermometer that had divisions of 0.1â°c.

each group obtained exactly same boiling point for the salt solution, 100.8â°c. are the results valid?
a) no, because too little salt was used.
b)no, because it was not a controlled experiment.
c)yes, because each group obtained the same results.
d)yes, because the thermometer had divisions of 0.1â°c.

Prior to the development of dna fingerprinting, blood type could be used to determine possible parentage. although it might prove someone was not a parent, it could not show if someone was positively the parent, only that he or she might be a parent. which of the following is a true statement that can be made about parentage based on blood typing?

In a classic experiment using pea shape, mendel conducted two separate genetic crosses. in the first cross the parent plants were “true breeding” for pea shape; one had round peas ( r )and the other had wrinkled (r). the first cross produced a filial 1 generation of all round peas. in the second cross, mendel bred plants from the filial 1 generation. this cross produced different results. out of approximately 1000 plants, about 75% were round and 25% were wrinkled.

To store strawberries in sugar syrup, lucy placed them in a jar and covered them with sugar but did not add any water. do you think syrup will be formed? justify. a. no. since water is not added, there cannot be any syrup formation. b. no. the higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the sugar to diffuse in the strawberry cells causing them to swell without formation of any syrup. c. yes. the higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the strawberry to diffuse out resulting in syrup formation. d. yes. the sugar will melt over time and form the syrup.
