Question

A farmer planted corn in two different fields. He planted 500 seeds of regular corn in Field A and 500 seeds of experimental corn in Field B. At

harvest time, more ears of corn had grown in Field A than in Field B. The farmer concluded that more corn grew in Field A because of the type

of corn planted.

Choose two other possible variables that could have caused more corn to grow in Field A.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

1. More pollination process in the regular corn planted in field A than that of field B.

2. Low pest and insect attack on corn planted in field A compared to that of B.

Explanation:

1. Pollination is the process in which a plant becomes fertilized, so as to produced seeds. The process requires some agent which could be; air, human, wind etc.

Therefore more pollination of the corn planted in field A than those in B would lead to more yield (ears of corn harvested) than that of B.

2. Pests and insects are agents which could reduce the yield of the corn after harvest. Comparing the two fields A and B, if the corn planted in field A were not affected by pests or insects, while those planted in B were affected, then more ears of corn would be harvested in field A.
