Why can you not prove a hypothesis

Biology
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

To conclude, you cannot prove a hypothesis because you can never generalise the results to the whole population and foresee the results will always be the same in the future. You can however, reject the null hypothesis consistently, through statistical hypothesis testing so that the theory becomes highly likely to be true, but not proven.

True or false: Theoretically, it is possible (but very difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while.
Debora [2.8K]

It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.

There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.

There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

  • no mutation
  • random mating
  • no gene flow
  • infinite population size
  • and no selection (natural nor forced).

You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.

For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.

Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.
