Question

Suppose that Zonosemata flies whose own wings had been clipped and reattached were attacked more frequently than untreated Zonosemata flies. How would this result have affected the reliability of the other experimental results?
(a)-The reliability of the experimental results would not change.
(b)-All results for the experimental groups using houseflies would be invalid.
(c)-All results for the experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.
(d)-All results for the experimental groups using Zonosemata flies would be invalid.

Answer 1

Answer:

(c)-All results for the experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.  

Explanation:

The study researcher shown in the above question noted that flies that underwent wing surgery were more attacked than those that received no wing treatment. However, the researcher does not show the study variables and, consequently, does not show any relationship between the variables and the research result. For this reason, we can state that based on this result, all results for experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.
