Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male parts of a flower to the female parts of a flower of the same species, which results in fertilization of plant ovaries and the production of seeds.
Choose your x and y carefully. Scientists like to say that the independent variable goes on the x-axis (the bottom, horizontal one) and the dependent variable goes of the y-axis (the left side, vertical one).
In experimental studies, where the independent variables are imposed and manipulated, the dependent variable is the variable thought to be changed or influenced by the independent variable. Example: study title: Effects of a new tooth paste (YummyTooth) on incidence of caries in 1st grade children. is the independent variable and Y is the dependent variable-the outcome, and Z is the type of subjects represented. A simple example would be: The effects of tomatoes on risk of prostate cancer in Scandinavian men.
