John wanted to know if adding salt in water would help his plants grow in the garden. He came up with the purpose question "how does salt water affect plant growth?" He gathered saltwater plants of the same species with soil and placed them in separate containers with 1 liter of water. All of the plants were the same height at the beginning of the experiment. John added different amounts of salt each container as shown in the diagrams. John then analyzed his data to then formulate a conclusion. What is the missing step of John's experiment?

The hypothesis

Laila has two genes for eye color, Bb. B is the allele for brown eyes and b is the allele for blue eyes. 1. Which sentence below is true? a) Laila has brown eyes and carries genes only for brown eyes b) Laila has brown eyes and carries genes for blue eyes and brown eyes c) Laila has blue eyes and carries genes only for blue eyes d) Laila has blue eyes and carries genes for blue eyes and brown eyes

b) Laila has brown eyes and carries genes for blue eyes and brown eyes

400

If one parent has brown eyes (BB) and the other parent has brown eyes (Bb), what is the probability that the offspring will have blue eyes? Use a Punnett square to find the answer.

0 % blue eyes because brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue eyes (b)

500

The allele of the gene for brown coat color is dominant over the allele for white coat color in mice. A female mouse with a brow n coat (BB) has baby mice with a male mouse who has a white coat (bb). What is the probability that their offspring will have brown coat? Use a Punnett Square.

100 % brown fur. BB and Bb because brown coat is dominant over white.

Chocolate contains theobromine and a little caffeine. A 1-ounce square of chocolate has as much caffeine as: a) half a can of soda b) a cup of regular coffee c) a glass of iced tea d) a cup of decaf coffee

d) a cup of decaf coffee The interesting part of this fact is that decaffeinated coffee does, in fact, still contain a small amount of caffeine. The theobromine in chocolate is a stimulant, like caffeine, but its effect lasts longer and it doesn't produce that same "crash" as caffeine.
