John wants to know if the color of the syrup (food) in a hummingbird feeder influences whether hummingbirds feed at the feeder. john set up his experiment this way:

john selects 6 identical hummingbird feeders. he prepares a sugar water solution for the syrup (food). he divides the syrup into 6 equal portions. he adds different colors (food dye) to 5 of the portions of syrup (food). he adds the syrup (food) to each of the 6 feeders. the feeders placed equal distance apart on a long fence in the middle of a field. john leaves the area so the birds are not disturbed by human presence. the feeders are collected after 6 hours.

what is the feeder clear syrup a independent variable ,dependent variable, constant or control?

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation
