What happens when a hypothesis is not supported

Biology
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
5 0
<span> For a start, when you have a question that needs answering in science, you formulate a null hypothesis. That is a negative statement which you then set out to prove or disprove. This is just a convention. So if your initial question is for example, "Does sugar dissolve in water?"

Your null hypothesis will be "Sugar does not dissolve in water."
You then set up your experiment and get some data.

Now if your data doesn't support your null hypothesis then you reject it and make the statement ,"Sugar does dissolve in water." As you can see from this simple example, a non-result is still a result so the idea of formulating new tests as mentioned by another answerer isn't necessary and in some ways is the incorrect thing to do. In science, hypotheses are often not supported by data and i would argue that this is the case a lot of the time. A non-result is still a result and you will have plenty to write about whichever way it goes. </span>

Question 1 (Multiple Choice)
choli [55]
1. A forensic pathologist would most likely perform a forensic autospy. Forensic pathologists focus on cause of death by examining a bod or corpse. They perform postmortem examinations. 

2. Insect activity will begin immediately if a body is left in the open. That is why insect activity can help investigations with determining certain things such as time of death, where the person died and the like. 

3. A light meal will digest in about 1-2 hours. Digestion rates can give useful information about when a person had died. Medium meals take about 3-4 hours to digest and heavier meals take about 6 hours. 

4. Indicative acts are actions or behaviors that may or may not have taken place before someone dies. Indicative is suggestive, so it may or may have happened. When you say indicative acts you are referring to what may have happened (or may not) based on certain circumstances, observations or evidence.

How does the uterus prepare itself to receive a fertilized egg?
frez [133]
The fertilized egg begins a rapid descent to the uterus. The period of rest in the tube appears to be necessary for full development of the fertilized egg and for the uterus to prepare to receive theegg. ... At the end of this transition period, the embryo becomes a mass of very organized cells, called a blastocyst.
