A law is supported by scientific evidence that is reproducible, whereas a hypothesis is simply a guess that can be confirmed or refuted by an experiment.

<h3>What exactly is a hypothesis?</h3>

A hypothesis is a guess based on a large amount of background information. If only five trees survived, they may have received more light than the other five.

In that case, one will devise an experiment in which the same plant is randomly assigned to different treatment groups with varying degrees of light, and the rate of growth of each group is compared.

Thus, a law is supported by scientific evidence that is reproducible, whereas a hypothesis is simply a guess that can be confirmed or refuted by an experiment.

Why do a male's body contain more blood than females?
lubasha [3.4K]
This is because they lost nearly 30 to 50 ml of blood every month during menstruation and some even 80 ml.
And also the metabolism of females is lower than males due to low rbc count in hormones.

When lions prey on a herd of antelope, some antelope are killed and some escape. Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selec
Rufina [12.5K]

According to Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, each generation produces more individuals than the ecosystem can sustain. However, not all individuals are identical and phenotypical variation exists.

Due to this variation, some antelopes are better at escaping lions, perhaps due to speed and/or stamina. Thus, the individuals that are slower and thus less fit will be killed and eliminated from the herd. The antelopes with heritable traits that makes them better suited to the environment, will escape and thus, survive and reproduce.

In Darwin's Theory predation is an evolutionary force.
