Question

In the experiment described above, state what each of these parts of the experiment was:

 

  • Independent variable
  • Dependent variable
  • Control group
  • Experimental group
  • One controlled variable
You are trying to determine a function for an ORFan gene. You hypothesized
that the gene may be involved in allowing yeast to carry out their metabolism in
the absence of oxygen (a process called fermentation). You take yeast with
this ORFan gene deleted and compare their growth in an oxygen-free
environment to wild-type yeast using a spread plate assay. In this assay the
same number of yeast cells are spread over separate plates using a sterile
spreader.
The image below shows the results of this experiment. The yeast strain with
the ORFan gene deleted is shown on the left, and the wild type yeast is shown
on the right:
