Many farmers and gardeners compost their plant and animal waste. The living material naturally decays in compost bins, forming a dirt-like substance that’s rich in nutrients. The next season, farmers use this substance as a natural fertilizer for their crops. A biology student has grown tomato plants for several years. Until now, he used an artificial fertilizer formulated for tomato plants. This fertilizer caused his plants to grow faster and taller than they grew in unfertilized soil. The student wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his artificial fertilizer. Answer the following questions to plan an investigation using the steps of the scientific method and help the student find the answer to his question. 1. How does the design of your experiment control for outside factors that may affect the results? 2. How do you plan to analyze and communicate your results? 3. How would you conduct your investigation? In your answer, explain your independent and dependent variables.

Nhumans, abo blood types refer to glycoproteins in the membranes of red blood cells. there are three alleles for this autosomal gene: ia, ib, and i. the ia allele codes for the a glycoprotein, the ib allele codes for the b glycoprotein, and the i allele doesn't code for any membrane glycoprotein. ia and ib are codominant, and i is recessive to both ia and ib. people with type a blood have the genotypes iaia or iai, people with type b blood are ibib or ibi, people with type ab blood are iaib, and people with type o blood are ii. if a woman with type ab blood marries a man with type o blood, which of the following blood types could their children possibly have? in humans, abo blood types refer to glycoproteins in the membranes of red blood cells. there are three alleles for this autosomal gene: ia, ib, and i. the ia allele codes for the a glycoprotein, the ib allele codes for the b glycoprotein, and the i allele doesn't code for any membrane glycoprotein. ia and ib are codominant, and i is recessive to both ia and ib. people with type a blood have the genotypes iaia or iai, people with type b blood are ibib or ibi, people with type ab blood are iaib, and people with type o blood are ii. if a woman with type ab blood marries a man with type o blood, which of the following blood types could their children possibly have? a, b, ab, and o ab and o a, b, and o a and b
