In studies about new medicines, researchers usually give one group of patients the medicine that is designed to treat an illness. They give another group of patients a placebo, which is taken the same way as the medicine but does not actually contain the ingredients of any medicine. Different medicines are tested in different experiments, but the placebos usually contain the same non-medical ingredients. If both groups of patients are healed, then researchers cannot be sure whether the medicine caused improvement, but if the group given the medicine is healed while the group given the placebo remains ill, researchers can conclude that the medicine causes the illness to go away. In medical experiments, which group receives placebos?

List two new traits (structural or behavioral) that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on two of the four islands. choose only two islands that are described in the lesson. record the island latter and the major habitat feature of the island. then list two new traits each rat subspecies might demonstrate in order to survive the habitat on that island. note: new traits should be unique to that island and be in response to that island’s habitat feature. i cannot remember islands that were names in the lesson so only answer if you have done the lesson (5.13 life science 7b) choose 2 of the islands and describe a structural and a behavioral trait for a rat on each island so 4 total answers, 2 different structurals and 2 different behaviorals, one for each rat for each island
