Answer and explanation;

-Some form of skepticism is essential to the scientific method. Ideally, researchers would form hypothesis based on a-prior theories or previous empirical evidence and use formal methods to test them.

-Skepticism can be defined as the attitude of subjecting claims to increasingly difficult tests before accepting them.

-Scientists are 'pretty confident' that life evolves on Earth according to the forces of natural selection because every single test they have made is consistent with this process. They do not 'know' that this is true but they are extremely confident.

Why is it necessary for each gemete to contain only half as many chromosomes as a body cell
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

This is for the offspring to show traits that come from both the mother and father.

Explanation:

Gametes are formed by a kind of cell division called meiosis in which the chromosome number is halved. Thus the said gamete cell is said to contain a haploid number of chromosomes.

The fusion of two haploid gametes is called fertilization. It results in the formation of single celled zygote which has a diploid number of chromosomes. The zygote now divides and develops to produce the offsprings whose somatic cells are diploid.
