In an experiment to test this hypothesis, eggs from a sensitive speciesof frog were divided into two groups. One group was shielded fromultraviolet rays with special filtering. The other group was not shielded. Thenumber of eggs that survived in each group was recorded.Parts of the Study1 Uncovered frog eggs2 Percentage of eggs surviving3 Covered frog eggs4 Species of frogNumerical Response07.
