Heredity and Reproductive Success Quick Check 1 of 51 of 5 Items Question The following table shows data about a population of red pandas. Data Collected from a Red Panda Population Over Time Generation 1 2 3 4 5 Average mass of red panda 4.6 kg 4.6 kg 4.5 kg 4.4 kg 4.3 kg Nucleotide Diversity in Population 0.000625 0.0005575 0.0004255 0.0003523 0.0003523 Population Size 48 47 44 44 42 Deforested Land (acres) 150 150 450 4,500 54,000 If you wanted to present evidence that red panda populations were becoming less diverse over time, which choice correctly identifies the independent and dependent variables you would choose to use in your graph? (1 point) Responses Independent = Generation and Dependent = Nucleotide Diversity Independent = Generation and Dependent = Nucleotide Diversity Independent = Acres of Deforested Land and Dependent = Generation Independent = Acres of Deforested Land and Dependent = Generation Independent = Generation and Dependent = Acres of Deforested Land Independent = Generation and Dependent = Acres of Deforested Land Independent = Nucleotide Diversity and Dependent = Generation
Correct answer:
Independent = Generation and Dependent = Nucleotide Diversity
