Evolutionary theory has become the central organizing principle of biological science. Could this scientific theory ever become

a scientific law?
A. Yes, if scientists decide that enough evidence supports the theory.
B. Yes, if the theory is shown to predict future events.
C. No, because a theory is a complex explanation that does not become a
law.
D. No, because a theory can be proven correct while a law cannot be
proven.

The answer requires looking at the meaning of the words 'theory' and 'law'. The formal definition of a theory is that it is a comprehensive explanation of a observed phenomenon supported by a lot of evidence. Law is a fact that is bound to be true in nature, example Newton's second law. However, a theory is subjected to continuous refinements based on the several new findings that happen with time. These refinements make the theory appear incomplete. As with the theory of evolution, a lot of research work is being put to understand the complex phenomenon of genetic inheritance of traits of behaviour. Unless there are evidences from nature for all the aspects of evolution in theory, it'll remain a theory and not become a law.

Answer is A) Yes, if scientists decide that enough evidence supports the theory.

Which activity combines the use of conduction and convection to transfer heat?
kaheart [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The boiling of water in the iron pan is the activity in which both conduction and convention are used.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Energy is transferred from one part of the matter to other part in three ways:

  • Conduction
  • Convection.
  • Radiation.

Conduction is the movement of heat from the collision of the microscopic particles in the matter.

While convection is the transfer from the movement of fluids from one place to another.

In the water boiling activity, the pan is heated by the flame from taking the energy in the collision of atoms in the pan and the energy is transferred into the whole pan and eater molecules. This is conduction while in pan water movement from the bottom to top of pan is by convection.

Prokaryotic organisms have a single origin of replication, whereas eukaryotic organisms have many origins where replication occu
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

B) Prokaryotic DNA is much smaller than eukaryotic DNA.

Explanation:

In biology, one event is correlated with the other event or structure like observed in the DNA. The genetic material of a eukaryote and a prokaryote differ from the other in many ways:

1. The prokaryote possesses only one chromosome which is double-stranded and circular.

2. The eukaryotic organism exhibits more than one chromosome which is not circular.

Since the prokaryotes possess very less amount of DNA then the eukaryotes therefore during DNA replication, the DNA of prokaryote require only one origin of replication from where the replication will start.

Thus, Option-B is correct.
