Which of the following represents the application of the scientific method? a. comparing one experimental subject to one control subject b. believing an explanation that is too complex to be tested c. using controlled experiments to test falsifiable hypotheses d. developing one testable hypothesis to explain a natural phenomenon e. observing a once-in-a-lifetime event under natural conditions
When researchers say that a scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable, they mean that: a. the hypothesis must be proved correct before it is accepted astruth. b. the hypothesis has already withstood many experimentaltests. c. they have an idea about what will happen to one variable ifanother variable changes. d. appropriate data can prove without question that thehypothesis is correct. e. if the hypothesis is wrong, scientists must be able todemonstrate that it is wrong.
A related set of hypotheses that collectively explain some aspect of the natural world makes up a scientific _________. a. prediction b. test c. theory d. authority e. observation
Figure 1.6 In the example below, the scientific method is used to solve an everyday problem. Order the scientific method steps (numbered items) with the process of solving the everyday problem (lettered items). Based on the results of the experiment, is the hypothesis correct? If it is incorrect, propose some alternative hypotheses. Observation Question Hypothesis (answer) Prediction Experiment Result There is something wrong with the electrical outlet. If something is wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won’t work when plugged into it. My toaster doesn’t toast my bread. I plug my coffee maker into the outlet. My coffeemaker works. Why doesn't my toaster work?

Explain the Hardy-Weinberg principle of equilibrium.
Which of the following is not true of natural selection? (a) natural selection acts to preserve favorable traits and eliminate unfavorable traits (b) the offspring of individuals that are better adapted to the environment will make up a larger proportion of the next generation (c) natural selection directs the course of evolution by preserving the traits acquired during an individuals lifetime (d) natural selection acts on a populations genetic variability, which arises through mutation (e) natural selection may result in changes in allele frequencies in a population
Ideally, an experimental group differs from a control group (a) only with respect to the hypothesis being tested (b) because its subjects are more reliable (c) in that it is less subject to bias (d) in that it is less vulnerable to sampling error (e) only with respect to the variable being studied
History may not be your favorite subject, especially learning about a bunch of long-dead scientists who made discoveries that we now take for granted. With an open mind, you may actually find the information interesting and learn a few things you didnt know before. During your examination of the topics in this chapter, consider the following: What types of discoveries in this century, in your opinion, equal those made by the pioneers?
