Dr. Smith reads two research papers that present different conclusions about the same question. He knows the researcher who wrot
e Paper A, but does not know the authors of Paper B. When asked which paper he thinks has more merit, Dr. Smith replies, “Paper A.” Because of Dr. Smith's connection to some of the researchers, he could be exhibiting A. bias. B. inference. C. observation. D. skepticism.
Bias in research is common. In this the researcher becomes manipulative while concluding a result and while choosing samples. The audience can also become bias when selecting the research of a particular audience.
Here, in the given situation, Dr.Smith is becoming biased as he may know the author or researcher of Paper A. Thus he is in favor of the conclusion of Paper A.
Since there is no distinction in the measure of the RNA polymerases yet rather their movement, the distinction lies in their structure and not their grouping. Adjustments are made to widen the states of endurance. Thus E. coli would not constrain it's endurance by restricting its development to hotter temperatures. Thus the appropriate response is "the RNA polymerase sub-units of the P. syringe strain most likely have additional adaptability with the goal that they can move all the more openly in colder temperatures".
