Question 2
Evidence: What evidence in the charts supports your claim about what is affecting the growth?
Sample Sentence Starter: In the evidence I see...
In the evidence, I see that there are variations in growth rates among different groups of Tilapia species, suggesting that genetic factors play a role in growth. Additionally, the charts also show variations in growth rates under different environmental conditions, indicating that environmental factors also play a significant role in the growth of Tilapia species.
Reasoning: How does the evidence you identified explain your claim about what is affecting the growth?
Sample Sentence Starter: My evidence addresses the claim because ...
My evidence addresses the claim because it demonstrates that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the growth of Tilapia species. The variations in growth rates among different groups of Tilapia suggest genetic influences, while the variations in growth rates under different environmental conditions indicate the importance of environmental factors. By examining both genetic and environmental factors, we can better understand the complex interactions that affect the growth of Tilapia species in experiments.
