Instructions: In this lab, you will investigate how limiting factors affect a population of cricket frogs in the Florida Everglades. Your scientific inquiry will focus on three limiting factors: food, predators, and pollution. Complete the following lab report to record your observations as you move through the simulation. You will submit your completed lab report for grading.
Name and Title:
Include your name, instructor's name, date, and name of lab.
Objective(s):
In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab?
Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.
If predators are increased, then the cricket frog population will (increase/decrease/stay the same) over the span of five years.
If pollution is increased, then the cricket frog population will (increase/decrease/stay the same) over the span of five years.
If the amount of food available is increased, then the cricket frog population will (increase/decrease/stay the same) over the span of five years.
Procedure:
The procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable), outcome variable (dependent variable), and control group for this experiment.
Reminder: The test variable is the item that is changing in this investigation. The outcome variable is the item that you are measuring in this investigation. The control group is the group in the experiment where the factors being tested are not applied. It allows scientists to set a baseline to compare the experimental groups that do have factors applied to them.
Test variable (independent variable):
Outcome variable (dependent variable):
Control group:
Data:
Record your data from each trial in the data chart below:
Type of Factor Beginning Frog Count Simulation 1 (Low) Simulation 2 (High)
Predators (alligators)
Pollution
Food (mosquitoes)
Graphs
Use the graphs you printed from the data chart in the virtual lab and analyze the data. Make a note of any trends that you discover.
Predators (alligators):
Pollution:
Food (mosquitoes):
Conclusion:
Your conclusion will include a summary and an interpretation of the lab results. Please write in complete sentences.
Which limiting factor(s) in this lab simulation are biotic?
Which limiting factor(s) in this lab simulation are abiotic?
Which limiting factor impacted the cricket frog population the most? Use evidence to support your answer.
Which limiting factor impacted the cricket frog population the least? Use evidence to support your answer.
Mosquitoes can carry and transmit disease to animals and humans. Explain how the cricket frog plays an important role in limiting the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile virus and malaria.
Predict the long-term effects of these limiting factors on the cricket frog population in the pond ecosystem.
(I JUST NEED THE CONTROL GROUP AND CHART DONE. THE OTHER QUESTIONS ARE THERE SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ASSIGNMENT IS ABOUT. I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO BEST ANSWER)

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i. e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
