(01.01 HC)Carlos is trying to determine how music affects the growth of bean plants. He hypothesizes that classical music will cause a plant to grow at a higher rate than no music or rap music. He grows nine bean plants in similar lighting, temperature, and soil conditions. Three are exposed to classical music 24 hours a day, three are exposed to rap music 24 hours a day, and three are grown in complete silence. Carlos measures the growth of the plants every day and finds that the plants all seem to have the same rate of growth.What can you infer is missing from Carlos’s scientific investigation?

(03.07 HC)You are a forensic scientist on a case of a missing child. You are tasked with using genetic genealogy to determine if a child in custody is the missing child. Currently, you do not have a DNA sample from the child. However, the child has albinism, a recessive trait that is expressed as an absence of pigment in her skin and hair.Looking at the grandparents and parents of the missing child, you put together this pedigree. The shaded shapes mean the person has albinism. The open shapes mean a person does not have albinism or they are an unknown carrier of the disorder. The child in custody is represented with a shaded circle.Could the child in custody be the missing child?
