Question

You are testing the hypothesis that increased population density of a particular plant species increases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infects the plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on the leaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe your experimental and control groups, how you would collect data, and what results you would see if your hypothesis is correct.

Step 1

Experimental Design: First, we would need to establish two groups of plants: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group would consist of plants that are grown in a high-density environment, while the control group would consist of plants Show more…
