Chose the correct answers on one through 15(plese help)
1.A research group hypothesizes that successful infection by HIVdepends upon the expression of FSH3, a human gene. They overexpressthis gene in T cells (Which HIV normally infects) so that FSH3protein levels are very high in these cells. In other T-cells, theymutate FSH3 so that none of its encoded protein is made. They thenmeasure HIV infection rate in the control, overexpression, andmutant T cells. The three cultures are otherwise grown in the sameway.
What is the independent variable(s) in this experiment? (Selectall correct answers)
FSH3 protein levels | ||
The medium in which cells are grown | ||
The temperature at which cells are grown | ||
HIV resistance of cells |
