Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 17RQ
You performed an experiment in which you measured the volumes of nine slices of potato, then soaked the slices in solutions of different salinities for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, you again measured the volumes of the nine slices. The changes you found were:
- a. What was the independent variable in this experiment? What was the dependent variable?
- b. Can you tell from the information given whether or not there was a control in this experiment? If there was a control, what was it?
- c. Graph the results of the experiment using the most appropriate type of graph.

You observe that most of the pocket mice that live on dark rocks are dark black in coloration, and that the pocket mice that are light in color live on light-colored sand. You hypothesize that the coloration differences serve as camouflage protecting the mice against predators. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe this experiment in 3-4 sentences.
