Question

Scientists may design an experiment with a control group, which is a set of organisms or sam-ples that do NOT receive the treatment (the independent variable) that is being tested. Scientists can then compare normal changes in organisms or samples with those that might have occurred because of the treatment. The idea of a "control group" is not the same as a "controlled variable." Suppose a scientist is doing an experiment to determine the effect of a cancer drug on mice with lymphoma

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that the aim of the scientist is to determine the effect of a cancer drug on mice with lymphoma. In this experiment, the mice with lymphoma are exposed to the drug. This is the treatment in the experiment. A control group of mice having lymphoma is not exposed to this treatment, this is the control group. This control group establishes a baseline for the study.

By comparing the outcome of the experimental and control groups, the effect of a cancer drug on mice with lymphoma can be determined.
