Answer:

Its conclusion is flawed because in a scientific investigation it is necessary to carry out the experimentation in a significant sample of hermit crabs. In this case Laurita and Trey only considered 2 crabs whose behavior may be determined by other factors, so it is necessary to increase the study sample .

A subset of the population is called a "sample," and therefore must be representative of it. In general, when a sample is estimated, the population size must be taken into consideration.  Very large populations will require large samples for their representativeness, and small populations will require smaller samples.

How do structures and functions of organisms vary in different kingdoms????
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

With millions of different kinds of organisms in the world, scientists must find order in all of this diversity. Scientists group living organisms into one or more of a few major categories as part discipline known as taxonomy. The bodies of organisms are organized into functional systems—cells are organized into tissues, and tissues are organized into organs. Body systems carry out critical functions, such as locomotion, reproduction, digestion, and circulation. All living things on Earth are composed of the same carbon-based, molecular building blocks.
