Question

Suppose that in an experiment similar to the camouflage experiment described in Module 1.5, a researcher observed and recorded more total predator attacks on dark-model mice in the inland habitat than on dark models in the beach habitat. From comparing these two pieces of data, the researcher concluded that the camouflage hypothesis is false. Do you think this conclusion is justified? Why or why not?

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here. We have a question telling us that a researcher wants to analyze the effect of camouflage on the survival of white mice in the icy arctic environment. And the question is in this context, what will be the control group for the study? So because we want to see the effect of the survival of white mice in icy arctic environment, the open grassland environment options are wrong because we want to see in the Isaac arctic conditions. So B. And D. You're wrong. And the number of dummy white mice attacked by the predators will be compared that of the number of black mice attacked by the predators in the same environment. So A. Will be the experimental group And C. will be the control group. So eight is incorrect and the number of dummy black mice attacked by the predator in the icy arctic environment will be the control group. Thank you for watching. Bye.
