genetic factors and growth quick check
which sentence most accurately describes the daily growth rate of plants? (1 point)
sum of individual plant heights divided by number of days
average change in plant height divided by number of days
sum of individual plant heights divided by total number of plants
average plant height divided by total number of plants

Explanation:

The daily growth rate of plants is about the change in height over time (days). The average change in plant height divided by the number of days gives the rate at which the height changes per day. The sum of individual plant heights divided by days doesn't account for change (it's just a total over days). The sum of individual plant heights divided by number of plants is the average height of plants (not related to daily growth). The average plant height divided by number of plants is an incorrect calculation conceptually.

Answer:

average change in plant height divided by number of days
