each number in a b. the arrangement of lev es on a stem, such that the
Fibonacci sequence is the arrangement minimizes the degree to which they
sum of the two previous shade each other
numbers. which of the
following natural
phenomena has been
described using a
Fibonacci sequence?
a. the rate of growth of a
seedling, such that the
ratio of the length of the
stem to the length of the
root remains constant
b. the arrangement of lev
es on a stem, such that the
arrangement minimizes
the degree to which they
shade each other
c. the increase in bone
diameter of young
mammals, such that the
bones of the legs can
support the weight of the
body as it grows

a scientists carefully
designs and performs an

appropriate NEXT step for
the scientists to take?
a. considering the factors
that might affect
population size and
formulating a new
hypothesis

temperature is not a factor
in the increased
population numbers
d. asking a colleague in a
different laboratory to
replicate the experiment
