In an experimental study of the effect of copper deficiency

In an experimental study of the effect of copper deficiency on coat color in bicolored juvenile rats, the dependent variable is? coat color copper level rat age

Solution

The dependent variable in this experiment is the coat color. There are two types of variables in an experiment: an independent variable and an independent variable. An independent variable are the values which can be changed by us within an experiment which here is the level of copper added to study its effect if it is deficient in the rats. The dependent variable are the values which we will be measuring in an experiment. The dependent variable is dependent on the values of independent variable. For eg: If we change the level of copper in this experiment, the dependent variable coat color will change accordingly.
