Will female deer urine attract male deer?

Full Answer Section

Control Group:

• Description: A group of male deer that will not be exposed to female deer urine.
• Identify Constant Variables for Both Groups:
  • Species of deer: Both groups should consist of the same species of deer.
  • Age and health of deer: Both groups should have similar ages and health conditions.
  • Environmental conditions: Both groups should be exposed to similar environmental factors (e.g., temperature, habitat).

Sample Data and Graphs:

Data:

Graph: A bar chart comparing the number of male deer attracted in the experimental and control groups.

Conclusion:

Based on the data, the hypothesis is supported. The presence of female deer urine (independent variable) significantly attracted more male deer (dependent variable) compared to the control group. This suggests that female deer urine is an effective attractant for male deer.

Sample Answer

Hypothesis:

Female deer urine will attract male deer.

Experimental Design:

Experimental Group:

• Description: A group of male deer that will be exposed to female deer urine.
• Independent Variable: The presence of female deer urine.
• Dependent Variable: The behavior of the male deer (e.g., sniffing, following, displaying mating behaviors).
