Practice Problem-A Multi-Part Study Experiment 1 Studying the microbiome of the gut has shown a number of interesting features when used to groups or populations, affecting things as widespread as autoimmune disorders, autism, and obesity. compare ere are a greater number of species in lean individuals' and lesser diversity in obese individuals' gut microbial populations. relationship. Mice were raised in germ-free environments and then two groups received bacterial transfers from either obese women or their lean twin sisters. The groups of mice were fed the same diet i Researchers wanted to see if this was a correlative or causative e same wates, and lived in isolated cages from each other The results of this experiment showed that the mice that received microbes from the obese twin became heavier and had than the mice that got their bacteria from a lean twin! Complete the following for this scenario: Hypothesis: Dependent Variable: Independent Variable: Standard Variables:

Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis: There is a negative correlation between obesity and diversity of gut microbiome. (Less microbiome diversity is associated with obesity).
Dependent variable: Body weight of the mice
Independent variable: Microbiome from the lean and obese people.
Level of treatment: At the organism (group) level
Control: Same diet and other conditions
Result: Mice that received microbes from obese twin became obese due to the accumulation of body fat.
Conclusion: Gut microbiome plays a major role in the metabolic activity of the digestive system. Greater the diversity of microbiome More is the metabolic efficiency. The given hypothesis is proven to be correct.
The experiment also shows that diversity of microbiome is the causative agent.
