When scientists first started mapping human genes, they estimated that there were about 2 million genes. By the late 1990s, it was thought that there were only 100,000 genes, and then that number shrank to 19,000 in 2001. Most scientists now believe that humans have about 21,000 genes.Which statement describes these estimates?

A

B
They became less accurate over time.
C
They were more accurate and then less accurate.
D
The accuracy remained the same.

Students are experimenting with a substance that they think can be added to soil to increase the number of flowers a certain plant will make. They set up 20 pots of soil, each planted with the same type of seed. They divide the pots into two groups and add 15 drops of the substance to pots in one group and only 10 drops to pots in the other group. After the plants grow for four weeks, the students count how many flowers each plant has made.

A
a control group
B
an independent variable
C
a dependent variable
D
a procedure
