1. Suzie was curious about how productive college sophomores attending Penn State Main campus are in working on a math worksheet when listening to music. She decided to conduct an experiment. She picked five of her closest sophomore friends to participate. She had each of them bring a phone and headphones to listen to music. She gave them all a copy of the same calculus worksheet to work on and timed how long it took them to finish it correctly.
a. List three things wrong with Suzie’s experiment.
2. Explain the difference between a independent variable and a dependent variable. a. Provide an example of each in contexts of an experiment.
3. Give two reasons why ratio measurement is the best measurement system.
4. Define a random sample and convenience sample.

Short Answer
As we have been learning during the semester all microorganism are unique and may have the ability to increase its pathogenicity dependent on the environment. This week we were introduced to hydrolytic enzymes, list two enzymes (enzymatic activity of Casease, enzymatic activity of Gelatinase) and their function. Using your critical thinking, explain why it is of importance to identify microorganism that have hydrolytic abilities.
The two anzymes is (enzymatic activity of Casease, enzymatic activity of Gelatinase)

Q. It is mentioned that embryos produced by the cactSu/ cactSu females are fully viable, yet when injected with the cactΔPEST mRNA, they become dorsalized, sometimes quite strongly (Fig. 6B). Propose why this dorsalization would happen in these injected embryos.
