A scientist claims that he has protected animal test subjects from a newly mutated virus using an experimental vaccine. The expe

rimental vaccine was injected into five animal test subjects. The scientist also injected a placebo vaccine into five other animal test subjects. One month later, all of the test subjects were exposed to the mutated virus. The subjects that received the vaccination showed no sign of the disease and blood tests confirmed the presence of antibodies against the disease, but the subjects given the placebo developed symptoms of this condition. Why did one group have a placebo injected before being exposed to the virus? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A They were part of the control group (Choice B) B They would be exposed to a weakened form of the virus (Choice C) C They would be protected from the disease (Choice D) D They were part of the experimental group

Answer:

A. They were part of the control group

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, the CONTROL GROUP as opposed to the experimental group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment. This acts as a standard for comparison.

In this question, the EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE is the experimental treatment or independent variable that was added. The five animal test subjects that was injected with this vaccine are called the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP while the other five test subjects that were rather injected with a PLACEBO are called CONTROL GROUPS.

An explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiments over time
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation of a natural phenomenon, supported by many observations and experiments over time, corresponds to a scientific theory.

Explanation:

A scientific theory begins with the observation of a natural phenomenon and the formulation of a hypothesis that explains its existence, which must be proven through observation and experimentation.

The approach of a theory follows the scientific laws and must be established on the basis of rigorous experimentation and measurement, establishing a relationship between what is observed and what can be proven, in such a way that a theoretical principle is elaborated to provide an explanation of the phenomenon.

A theory is subject to the scrutiny of the scientific community and can be refuted, when other data or experiments appear to oppose it. When the argument of a theory cannot be refuted, and is universally accepted, it becomes a scientific law.

What happens to a stimulus after the body receives it?
deff fn [24]

When a stimulus is produced it signifies the production of sensation in the sensory organs. This sensation through the sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue) is sent to the sensory nerve connected to these sense organs. These sensory nerves send nerve impulses through the nerve fiber to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord the nerve impulse is transferred to motor nerves.

The motor nerve then sends response to the stimulus though the same path to the region from which stimulus was received and thus the body responds through muscular activity. Such as removal of heat from the heated object if heated sensations were received.
