The student clearly identified the independent and dependent variables in the research question, specifying pH levels as the independent variable and the frequency of vegetative budding in Lemna minor as the dependent variable. However, the research question lacked a description of the method of analysis, and the background theory did not sufficiently link the characteristics of Lemna minor to the effects of pH. Additionally, the choice of techniques for measuring the variables was not fully explained, and there was limited discussion of trials, controlled variables, safety, ethical, and environmental considerations. While the methodology was generally well-structured and free of irrelevant information, it required more specific details to improve reproducibility and clarity.
