Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment as well as inheritance
A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
A scientist plants two groups of the same type of bean seeds. Group A is watered every day, and Group B is watered only once a week. After three weeks, the beans in Group A are much taller than those in Group B. Which explanation best uses evidence to show how the environment can influence a trait?
Question 2 of 3
A scientist grows two identical bean plants. One plant is kept on a sunny windowsill and receives plenty of water. The other plant is kept in a dark closet and receives only a little water. After two weeks, the plant on the windowsill is 12 cm tall and the plant in the closet is 5 cm tall. Which observation best supports the idea that a plant’s height can be influenced by its environment?
Question 3 of 3
A researcher grows two groups of identical bean plants in a greenhouse. Both groups have the same seed variety. Group 1 receives plenty of water and sunlight each day, while Group 2 receives only half as much water and is kept in a shaded area. After several weeks, the plants in Group 1 are noticeably taller than those in Group 2. Which explanation best accounts for the observed difference in growth?
