Mel and Carl conducted an experiment to verify their hypothesis that male eggs of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis only hatch at low temperatures. They conducted an experiment and their results were tabulated in the data table. Mel and Carl concluded very high temperatures killed unhatched alligators. What comment(s) would you make to Mel and Carl regarding their conclusions?

Question 1 options:

They could say that as temperatures increase, more eggs die; an appropriate conclusion based on the data is that temperature really has no effect on gender.

They could amend their conclusion and say that the higher temperatures result in more alligators dying and that the gender of hatchlings is incubation-temperature dependent.

Their conclusion is correct. Nothing should be added or deleted.

Although they are correct, more eggs die at higher temperatures, but only males hatch at low temperatures and females only hatch at high temperatures.

Which experiment would most likely contain experimental bias ?

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.
