The idea is that one variable is the effect of another variable or, to say it another way, that one variable precedes and/or causes another. The dependent variable is the variable to be explained (the 'effect”). The independent variable is the variable expected to account for (the “cause” of) the dependent variable.

Answer:

Cause and effect is similar to independent and dependent (clauses) because when a cause and effect takes place there is always a response while an independent and dependent (clause) use punctuation.

That's in my words at least. I hope I could help. NO PLAGIARISM!
