A hypothesis is a claim the researcher makes to stablish a relationship between variables and predict the results of the experiment or explain what thinks is going on. Note: Since I did not find the options, I provide examples below.

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

When following the scientific methodology, researchers must formulate a hypothesis.

A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified, that requires corroboration. It is a possibility, not a fact. It is a claim of how it works a relationship between two or more variables.

The researcher hypothesizes to predict what is going on or what is expected to occur.

A hypothesis

• must be clear and comprehensive.

• must express the direct relationship between the involved variables.

• must be objective.

• must be testeable and falsifiable

There are different kinds of hypotheses: descriptive, correlative, differentiative, or causative

Question: "Are black-tailed prairie dogs dying to sylvatic plague and causing the population to decline?"

The variables involved in this question are,

  • Independent variable: sylvatic plague presence
  • Dependent variable:  black-tailed prairie dogs survival or death.

                                            population size change

<u>Note</u>: Since I did not find the complete question, I will propose a few potential Hypothesis as examples for you to understand the structure.

Hypothesis:

If black-tailed prairie dogs are exposed to <u>sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>mortality rate</u> will increase, declining their population size.

If black-tailed prairie dogs are exposed to <u>sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>survival rate</u> will decrease, declining their population size.

If black-tailed prairie dogs are exposed to <u>sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>population size</u> will decline.

Another alternative is to think that variables are,

  • Independent variable: black-tailed prairie dogs dying to sylvatic plague or to other causes
  • Dependent variable: Population size change

Hypothesis:

If black-tailed <u>prairie dogs are dying to sylvatic plague</u>, then their <u>population size </u>will decline.

Notice that in every case, you can mention first the independent variable and the effect it provokes on the dependent variable.

How is framing contributing to the decline in biodiversity
marin [14]
All forms of farming have major impacts on biodiversity, especially when new land is brought into cultivation. Habitats are destroyed and new ecological niches created which allow typical farmland species of birds, insects, mammals and weeds to establish themselves.

What happens during transcription? Select all that apply. please help asap!
dangina [55]

Option A and C are correct.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The DNA is the genetic molecule of a cell in an organism that contains the genetic information stored in forms of genes. The genes are expressed by means of protein synthesis. The genes are formed of particular sequence of nitrogen bases that is called as codon. These codons are transcribed into particular amino acids. This process involves the participation of DNA dependent RNA synthase that produces the mRNA from the portion of DNA by means of transcription. The mRNA that is produced from the DNA is formed of complementary nitrogen bases from the DNA, just exception is that in RNA, thymine is replaced by Uracil. This process is known ad transcription.

<h2><em>interpret the chemical reaction - what is the overall purpose of photosynthesis?</em></h2>

  • <em>The main purpose of photosynthesis is </em><em><u>to convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy that can be used for food.</u></em><em> </em><em>Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.</em>
