What is the purpose of using a control group in a scientific experiment?
- a. A control group allows the researcher to practice the experiment first before actually conducting it.
- b. A researcher can compare the results in the experimental group and control group to determine if a single variable is causing a particular outcome in the experimental group.
- c. A control group provides the framework for the entire experiment so the researcher can recall the procedures that should be conducted.
- d. A control group allows the researcher to conduct other experimental changes without disturbing the original experiment.
- e. all of the above.

Your edited obligate apomict plants retains all the CRISPR "machinery" necessary to convert the "sexually reproducing" allele to the "obligate apomict" allele. You plant 100 hectares of your edited obligate apomicts in order to increase seed for sale the following year. Neighboring farms and seed producers are growing many different un-edited sexually reproducing varieties of the crop. If your neighbors plant seed harvested from their crops that was pollinated by your crop, should they expect these seeds to generate apomictic or non-apomictic plants?

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward
