Max discovered a beaker full of transparent liquid in the science lab. He hypothesized that since the liquid is transparent like
water, it is water. He shared this conclusion with his friends. His friends questioned his conclusion, but Max had no evidence to back his thoughts. What step did Max miss in his scientific methods? A.Make an initial observation.
B.Test a hypothesis by gathering data.
C.Form a conclusion.
D.State a hypothesis.
For a valid hypothesis, one should always go through these steps - 1. Initial observation, 2. State a hypothesis, 3.Test the hypothesis by gathering data and finally 4. Form a conclusion on the basis of gathered data.
Here Max skipped the testing of the hypothesis by gathering data, he should run few tests like <u>boiling point, freezing point, density</u> and other physical or chemical test and compared to pre-existed values of these tests.
Mitochondrial DNA is a smaller version of regular DNA; with Mitochondrial only having enough base pairs to create 37 genes. This means that mDNA is was sequenced and is a baseline in phylogenetics. Your answer is going to be "C"
