Experiment: Chick embryos were incubated in sealed containers with varied oxygen levels (5%, 15%, 21%). Their growth was monitored for a week.Observation: Embryos in 21% oxygen developed normally, those in 5% showed poor growth and deformities.Question: What conclusion can be made?

Correct answer: A. Oxygen is critical for proper embryonic development.

  • A. Oxygen is critical for proper embryonic development.
  • B. High oxygen prevents all deformities.
  • C. Embryonic development is unaffected by oxygen.
  • D. 5% oxygen accelerates cell division.

Explanation

The correct answer is that oxygen is critical for proper embryonic development. This conclusion is supported by the experiment's findings where embryos in 21% oxygen developed normally, while those in 5% oxygen experienced poor growth and deformities. The other options are incorrect as they do not align with the observed outcomes of the experiment.
