Refer to the illustration above. Amy wants to test the hypothesis that the rate of photosynthesis is directly related to the light level to which plants are exposed. She has chosen the aquatic plant Elodea as her study organism. In her experimental design, she has four different tanks in which she will place Elodea plants. Each Elodea plant will be placed inside an inverted test tube. She plans to estimate the relative rate of photosynthesis by measuring the amount of oxygen produced by plants placed under different light levels. She plans on comparing the amount of oxygen gas that collects in the top of each of the test tubes. Her experimental set-up looks like this: Amy plans to place tank #3 next to a window in the classroom. She plans to place tank #2 ten feet away from the window. She plans to place tank #1 twenty feet away from the window. She plans to place tank #4 in the classroom's refrigerator, because it is the only place she can find that is dark. Write your answers to the following in the spaces below.
a. What is wrong with the design of Amy’s experiment?
b. What could Amy change in her experimental design to make it a better experiment?

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
