How might a scientist compare theories by doing an experiment?

Biology

Paraphin [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "See which theory does a better job of explaining the results of the experiment".

Explanation:

A theory is a well established supposition that explains a phenomenon observed in nature or in laboratory based on proved principles. A scientist could compare theories by doing an experiment to see which theory does a better job of explaining the results of the experiment. This helps to see which theory is accurate and getting closer to get a definitive explanation to the observed phenomenon.

I think the answer is C, because repeating an experiment would mean the result is more accurate when done more then once. i learned this in around 7th grade, I hope it helps! (:

Which buffer system is closely linked to the respiratory system?A. pyruvateB. bicarbonateC. phosphateD. protein
Alchen [17]

B. Bicarbonate

<em>The blood brings bicarbonate to the lungs, and then it is exhaled as carbon dioxide. The kidneys also help regulate bicarbonate... it is excreted and reabsorbed by the kidneys.</em>

<em>The body's main response is to get rid of more carbonic acid and hold on to as much bicarbonate base in the kidneys as it can.</em>

Blue flower is dominant to yellow flower. Tall plant is dominant to short. Cross BbTt * BbTt. What precenetage of the offsprings
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 25%.

Explanation:

It is given that the Blue flower is dominant over the yellow flower which means Blue is represented by allele B here and allele b for yellow and Bb is a heterozygous case with a blue phenotypic character. Similarly, the Tall plant is dominant over short and represented by T and t respectively.

BbTt is a heterozygous condition and a cross with itself will produce :

Gametes: BT Bt bT and bt

          BT       Bt       bT       bt

BT     BBTT   BBTt   BbTT   BbTt

Bt      BBTt    BBtt    BbTt   Bbtt

bT     BbTT   BbTt    bbTT   bbTt

bt      BbTt     Bbtt    bbTt     bbtt

Here 4 out of 16 offspring are heterozygous for both traits represented by bold alphabets. Therefore the correct answer is 25%

Darwin studied actual birds on the Galapagos Islands instead of using a simulation, as you did in this lab. Studying natural sel
Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
Hope this helped a little!

Which term describes cycles of hot and cold temperatures which expand and contract rock in combination with constant wind and wa
marishachu [46]

The correct answer is option C, that is, physical weathering.  

The weathering resulting due to the influences of changing temperatures on a rock, making the rock to split apart is known as physical weathering. There are two main kinds of physical weathering, that is, exfoliation and freeze-thaw.  

Physical weathering takes place mainly in the locations, where few plants grow and little formation of soil occurs, like hot deserts and mountain regions. It takes place either via repeated freezing and melting of water or via contraction and expansion of the rocks surface layer, which is baked by the sun.

Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are called:______.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are usually known as ; Alpha radiation.

<h3>What is Radioactive material and Alpha Radiation ?</h3>
  • Chemicals in the class of radionuclides (also known as radioactive materials) have unstable atomic nuclei. They stabilize themselves by altering the nucleus (spontaneous fission, emission of alpha particles, or conversion of neutrons to protons or the reverse).
  • For example, the Earth's crust naturally contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. These two elements slowly alter their forms over billions of years, leading to the production of decay byproducts like radon and radium. Energy is released during this process. Alpha radiation is one type of this energy.
  • Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.
