Question

question 2 (multiple choice worth 2 points) (01 01r mc) a scientist hypothesizes that the temperature at which a turtle’s egg is incubated determines the sex of the offspring (whether it will be male or female). what is the independent variable? egg color offspring sex offspring size temperature

Explanation:

The independent variable is the factor manipulated in an experiment. Here, the scientist changes the incubation temperature to observe its effect on offspring sex. Egg color and offspring size are irrelevant. Offspring sex is the dependent variable (outcome). So temperature is the independent variable.

Answer:

Temperature (the option labeled "Temperature")
