The goal was to see if Earth's ecosystems could be successfully manufactured and maintained elsewhere in the galaxy, should we need to bail on this planet.

That a person is heterozygous for a certain trait. Rr=heterozygous and RR= homozygous. You can remember this because Hetero= different and homo= same
Human diploid cells have 46 chromosomes (the somatic number, 2n) and human haploid gametes (egg and sperm) have 23 chromosomes (n).
The scientists can predict that the finches on the island are mostly insectivores.
This is a generalization because the scientist have taken 12 finches as a sample population and predicted the food habits of the Entire population of finches living on the island.
Explanation:
- Generalization refers to deriving a conclusion about anything by observing any sample of it.
- Usually generalizations are done while studying large populations.
- We can define generalization as an act in which broad inferences are drawn by small observation.
- It makes the qualitative evaluation easy when it is very difficult to study each an every individual of population.
- In this experiment the scientists have observed only 12 out of many finches living on the island.
- They observed only these 12 finches and inferred about the eating habits of all the finches in the island.
- So, here a small observation of only 12 finches was used to give a broader inference about all the finches. Thus, it is a generalization.
