Find the independent and dependent variable

going outside causes you to catch a cold.

An easy way to think of independent and dependent variables is, when you're conducting an experiment, the independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what changes because of that.

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is; ///mendelian genes are at specific loci on the chromosome and, in turn, segregate during meiosis;

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.
