la) Dr. L. Fant is a scientist who has spent the last 30 years studying the effects of teratogens on neural development. Now, she wants to know whether prenatal exposure to certain types of drugs predicts later learning difficulties. Based on her prior work and that of other researchers in the field, she predicts that children who were exposed to high amounts of cannabis prenatally will score lower on a memory assessment than children who were exposed to no cannabis prenatally. If Dr. Fant plans to use the scientific method, what step would she take next? i. Draw a conclusion based on her extensive experience in the field ii. Develop a method for testing her hypothesis iii. Conduct a comprehensive literature review iv. Formulate a hypothesis relating to her question

Conduct a comprehensive literature review iv. Formulate a hypothesis relating to her question 1b) You are interested in testing whether fetuses, at 34-weeks gestation, can tell the difference between French and Arabic. You play a three-minute audio clip of a French-speaker and notice that fetal movements decrease by the end of the three-minutes. You then play a three-minute clip of an Arabic-speaker and observe that fetal movements stay the same or continue to decrease when you start to play the new clip. You conclude that: i. The fetus habituated; another measurement, such as fetal heartrate, is necessary to determine whether dishabituation also occurred. ii. The fetus dishabituated; it likely CAN tell the difference between French and Arabic iii. The fetus dishabituated; it likely CANNOT tell the difference between French and Arabic iv. The fetus habituated; there is no evidence that the fetus can tell the difference between French and Arabic. 1c)Maternal nutrition during pregnancy has been found to influence the child's likelihood of being obese. If the child does become obese, this is an example of: i. Child's prenatal environment shaping their genotype ii. Maternal genotype shaping child's genotype iii. Maternal genotype shaping child's phenotype iv. Child's prenatal environment shaping their phenotype

Expert Solution
Step 1

Conducting a research consists of various steps including introducing the variables, conducting literature review, forming hypothesis, testing hypothesis using scientific methods and finally drawing conclusions based on the results obtained.

As per Bartleby answering guidelines when there are multiple questions which are unrelated, only first question is to be answered.
