Why do you think scientists use multiple markers to identify individual elephants?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago
8 0
When a scientist is performing genetic tests in order to identify a specific individual they use specific markers that are found in the short-tandem repeat section of the DNA sequence. These regions are the most variable among the individuals that belong to the same species, therefore they are the best choice for trying to identify a specific individual.
The more markers they use, they can be more certain that this is a specific individual, in our case an elephant.

Determine whether this argument is using deductive or inductive reasoning. Then evaluate the argument as either valid/invalid or
lianna [129]

Answer:

Inductive, weak

Explanation:

An inductive reasoning is the opposite of deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning applies knowledge of past experiences and observations to form conclusions. The premise and conclusion goes "if this happened now... this must then happen". This type of reasoning moves from specific to general as opposed to deductive reasoning that moves from general to specific.

The argument in our question is also a fallacy. A fallacy is a faulty logic or weak argument. The argument is a fallacy of faulty generalization, the typical "jumping into conclusion".
