You want to test charles darwin's prediction that an orchid with long pollen tubes has a pollinator with long, thin mouthparts that can reach the bottom of the elongated nectar tube. you place nets over some orchids, which allows pollinators with small, short mouthparts to enter but prevents the entry of pollinators with long, thin mouthparts. next, you compare the number of seeds produced by plants with and without the nets. in this experiment, seed production is a(n)

The correct answer will be-dependent variable.

Explanation:

The scientific experiments are performed to study the variables which are of two types: independent variables and dependent variables.

The independent variables are the variables which can be controlled and changed and the variable to be studied is known as the dependent variable.

In the given experiment to study the prediction of Charles Darwin the experimental groups were divided to study the number of seeds produced. Nets were used to prevent the pollination by long mouth tube pollinators and allowed short mouth tube pollinators.  

Since the number of seeds produced was studied will be known as the dependent variable and hence is the correct answer.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
