Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1E
What are the principal reasons that one theory might be adopted over a conflicting one?
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reasons resulting in adopting one theory over the conflicting theory needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A theory is a model or method of looking at nature which explains natural laws and make further predictions about natural phenomena.
Explanation of Solution
One theory is preferred over another if it can correctly predict a wider range of phenomena and if it has fewer assumptions.
Thus, if a theory predicts the wider range of phenomena with fewer assumptions, it is preferred over another theory.

2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and
production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein
farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer
drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all
stereoisomers of this compound.
