In an experiment, the dosage of BPA (bisphenol A) administered is typically considered the independent variable. The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed in an experiment to observe its effects on another variable.
In contrast, the dependent variable is the outcome or response that is measured in the experiment to see how it is affected by changes in the independent variable (in this case, the effects of BPA dosage on, for example, biological markers, health outcomes, etc.).
So, to clarify:
- **Independent Variable:** Dosage of BPA
- **Dependent Variable:** The measured effects or outcomes related to BPA exposure.
