Question

cadens science class is studying tadpoles. each tadpole is born with a tail, which it keeps for a few weeks. once the tadpole starts to become a froglet, its tail shrinks away to nothing. which graph could show the length of the tadpoles tail in relation to its age?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze tadpole tail - age relationship

Tadpole has tail at birth, keeps it for a while, then tail shrinks to nothing as it becomes a frog - let.

Step2: Evaluate first graph

First graph shows tail length increasing continuously which is incorrect as tail shrinks later.

Step3: Evaluate second graph

Second graph shows a period of constant tail length (when tadpole has tail) followed by a decrease to zero (when tail shrinks), which is correct.

Answer:

The second graph.
