<span>Most of the scientific method is sparked by a simple question: Why does this happen? A scientist (or any observing party) may see an event and wonder what caused that reaction or event. In order to find out, though, they must first cogently pose the question that outlines what they are looking for in the simplest terms possible. Then they must learn about the event, either through further observation or by asking those with more information or study in that particular area. Then, any variables that may affect the outcome of the event that occurred must be identified, so that they can be accounted for and either minimized or accentuated depending on the nature of testing. Only then should a testable hypothesis be formed.</span>

they conduct a literature review before formulating any hypothesis. carrying out a literature review involves utilizing research databases to look for research materials that cover or are related to a certain topic of interest. the scope of the study and subject matter will influence the selection of research materials. information in these material play a crucial role when scientist are formulating hypothesis.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

A) incomplete dominance.

Explanation:

It is a clear case of incomplete dominance. This kind of inheritance shows deviation from Mendel's popular law of genetics which is known as "Law of Dominance". This law states that when two pure breeding parents i.e. homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive are mated then all their off-springs are genotypically heterozygous but phenotypically they all show dominant trait. But in incomplete dominance, <u>the dominant allele is unable to mask the expression of recessive allele completely</u> which leads to a phenotype which is a blend of both the traits.

In the example, orange beak is unable to mask the expression of ivory beak completely as a result of which all the off-springs have an intermediate trait which is pale, ivory-orange beak.
