A skeptical attitude in science means a new idea will only be accepted if it is backed by evidence.

A skeptical attitude is based on critical thinking and opposes claims that lack verifiable evidence.

Skepticism is part of the scientific method and it questions ideas based on scientific knowledge.

For example, an experimental result cannot be considered as proven until it shows a certain repeatability.

In other words, scientific skepticism consists of doubting when the evidence is unsatisfactory since when something is probable or reasonable, it does not necessarily have to be true.

Therefore, we can conclude that a skeptical attitude in science means the questioning of claims / ideas that lack sufficient evidence.

A variety of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) having lacerated leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is-

F1 - AaBb (lacerate)

F2 - A_B_; A_bb; and aaB_ (lacerate)

- aabb (normal)

2. Two genes, with a dominant allele at either or both loci.

Explanation:

The given information gives THE following data:

Dominant: Lancerate leaves - AABB

Recessive: normal leaves - aabb

F1 has - all Lacerated leaves - AaBb

F2 by selfing F1:

AB Ab aB ab

AB AABB AABb AaBB AaBb

Ab AABb AAbb AaBb Aabb

aB AaBB AaBb aaBB aaBb

ab AaBb Aabb aaBb aabb

Here, 15/16 = lacerate which is 0.94 which is equal to the value of lacerate given in the question - 249/265 = 0.94

And normal 1/16 = 0.062 is almost same as 16/265 = 0.060

Thus, the genotypes of -

F1 - AaBb (lacerate)

F2 - A_B_; A_bb; and aaB_ (lacerate)

- aabb (normal)

How does the human brain store and retrieve memories?

krek1111 [17]

Answer: After consolidation, long-term memories are stored throughout the brain as groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience, and each component of a memory is stored in the brain area that initiated it (e.g. groups of neurons in the visual cortex store a sight, neurons in the amygdala store the associated emotion, etc).

In a closed system, the total energy prior to an energy transformation is _______ the total energy after. A. equal to B. unrelat

nikklg [1K]

Hey there mate!

Based on my information to this, I believe sense (it would be a closed system), this would most likely be considered to be (equal to) the total energy after.

But, if it was not a (closed system), it would not be unrelated because the energetic system would not be that greatly increased.

So, it really depends whether the system closes up, or whether it would be free of energy.

So, in this case, your correct option to this answer would be (option A).

<span>In a closed system, the total energy prior to an energy transformation is unrelated to the total energy after.

I hope this helps you!</span>

The difference between an electrically neutral atom an ion is that

Yanka [14]

Atoms vs. Ions. Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.
