Question

For a school science experiment, Sam took three jars of equal sizes and filled them with equal amounts of nutrient-rich soil. From abag of mustard seeds, he sowed 10 seeds in Jar A. 20 seeds in Jar B, and 40 seeds in Jar C. All three jars were given the sameamount of water and exposed to the same amount of sunlight daily.The growth of the mustard plants was monitored for three weeks, and the following measurements show the average height of theseedlings and were recorded at the end of each week.JARA JARB JARCWeek 1 4 cm 3.2 cm 3 cmWeek 2 8.5 cm 6.6 cm 5.8 cmWeek 3 14 cm 10.2 cm 8.6 cmWhat can Sam conclude from the recorded data?OA. The growth rate of mustard plants is controlled completely by the seeds genes.ОВ. The growth rate of mustard plants remains constant as the plants grow from seeds.OC. The growth rate of mustard plants is affected by the number of seeds planted in a particular area.OD. The growth rate of mustard plants does not depend on the environment in which the seeds are grown.ResetSubmit

Answer 1

Data in the question:

- same abiotic condictions sun, soil, and light;

- different quantities of mustard seeds;

Jar A = 10 seeds; Jar B = 20; Jar C = 40 seeds

height measured:

(JA; JB; JC)

Week 1 = 4 cm 3.2 cm 3 cm

Week 2 = 8.5 cm 6.6 cm 5.8 cm

Week 3 = 14 cm 10.2 cm 8.6 cm

With the information that the question gives, we can conclude that:

The growth rate of mustard plants is affected by the number of seeds planted in a particular area (c), being the more "populated" jar the one when the plants grow less, and the jar with less seeds the one where the plants height is higher.
