Dr. Peterson does an experiment to research the growth rate of mice. He has two groups of mice. He feeds one group a type of foo

d and adds chemical A, which is supposed to increase growth rate. The other group he feeds the same food without chemical A added. His research shows that chemical A increases growth rate by 30%. He does the experiment 4 times and comes up with the same result each time.
Dr. Peterson concludes that chemical A does increase the growth rate of mice. Is Dr. Peterson's conclusion supported by scientific knowledge?

A.
No; scientific knowledge never comes from research or experiments.
B.
Yes; any study that involves a percentage is based on scientific knowledge.
C.
Yes; his conclusion is supported by evidence from his experiment.
D.
No; science cannot be used to research small animals such as mice.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Modern Synthesis is also called the Neo-Darwinian theory as it explains the fusion of Mendelian genetics with Darwinian evolution into a singular theory of evolution. It is sometimes referred to as the Neo-Darwinian theory.

It refers to evolution as "changes in allele frequencies within populations," in order to explain the genetic basis of evolution. The random genetic drift, gene flow, mutation pressure, and natural selection are seen to cause changes in allele frequencies. Resulting in several differences that can be seen gradually over a particular period in time.

In the Modern Synthesis, mechanisms of evolution and not natural selection takes a major role and it explains the continuance of genetic variation going along with Gregor Mendel's particulate theory of inheritance, where the alleles of a gene remain as individual entities rather than merging.

The major key players of the Modern Synthesis are R. A. Fisher and Sewall Wright (worked on population genetics), Theodosius Dobzhansky (studied the fruitfly Drosophila), Ernst Mayr (models of how speciation occurs), George Gaylord Simpson (introduced paleontological observations into Modern Synthesis) and G. Ledyard Stebbins (added some principles as a result of his botanical studies).

How is a raft different from a typical ecosystem when considering carrying capacity?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A raft is a flat-bottom structure made of planks or barrels that has the capacity to float on water. While an ecosystem is a community of living organisms (biotic) interacting with there non-living (abiotic) environment as an ecological unit.

A raft by design cannot withstand much load because of it's size or can only accommodate  only one type of organism at a time but an ecosystem generally accommodates a community (different organisms), hence the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is way larger than that of a raft and indeed a raft can be part of an ecosystem at some point
