The two methods scientists use to obtain empirical or evidential data is through:
 
1. Experimentation. This will majorly utilized in the various fields of science, hence this uses the variables of determining the independent and dependent variables –causation and effect of one or two variables to one another and vice versa. This is widely done in laboratories but natural observations is also one condition. 

2. Descriptive. This is one method of gathering data by using tests, interview and assessment, also to correlate the study. Moreover, this is the methods which is widely used in social sciences. Note that questionnaires aren’t the only methods in gathering data as mentioned by the above respondent, many authors would argue and support this claim.

1) Measurements during an experiment: for example measuring the weight of some substance or the size or temperature - mostly in natural sciences

2) Questionnaires in case of social studies. For example, if you want to examine the level of attachment in dog owners towards their dogs, you can have the owners fill in questionnaires for you.

I'd say A. Because the only data we have is that at a 5.4 pH level, flies are not welcome.

Hope it helped!

Some molecules found in foods are known to be capable of driving DNA methylation or DNA demethylation. For example, folic acid (

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: Eating excessive quantities of such molecules could deregulate this process, increasing methylation and repressing the expression of genes that should normally be expressed.

Explanation:

DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression, because it is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA.

Methylation then modifies the function of DNA when it is found in the promoter gene, it is essential for normal development and is associated with a number of key processes, including genomic imprinting, inactivation of the X chromosome, repression of repeating elements, aging, and carcinogenesis. Usually, it acts to suppress gene transcription.

For example, folic acid is essential for the rapid cell division that occurs during early fetal development and it also plays an important role in methylation and thus in gene regulation. The metabolism of these vitamins is aimed at achieving adequate levels of DNA methylation, necessary for the cellular processes. Eating excessive quantities of such molecules could deregulate this process, increasing methylation and repressing the expression of genes that should normally be expressed.

Environmental factors can be classified as either biotic or abiotic ? true or false ?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:True

Explanation:The factors can be classified as either biotic or abiotic. Biotic factors are all of the living or once-living aspects of the environment. They include all the organisms that live there as well as the remains of dead organisms. Abiotic factors are all of the aspects of the environment that have never been alive.May
