Question

a scientist conducted an investigation about the effects of diet on disease resistance in rats and made surprising observations. the mice with a genetic ear mutation seemed to show similar patterns of resistance compared to mice with normal ears. based on this information, what will most likely occur?

Answer 1

Based on the information, what will most likely to occur is  : She will perform a second investigation on the role of certain genes in certain disease.

The purpose of the second investigation is to find out whether the resistance that shown on both rats is the result of genetic

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: The scientist will perform another investigation in order to find out the role of certain genes in disease resistance.

Explanation-

As per the information given in the question, a mice having mutation in ear depicts same pattern of resistance when compared to another mice having normal ears. This indicates that the genes responsible for resistance are not related to genes that result in ear formation.

Therefore, to find out the effect of diet on disease resistance in rats, the scientist will perform another investigation in order to find out the role of certain genes in disease resistance.
