Concept explainers
To design: A study to determine whether two groups of mice living on the opposite sides of the river belong to the same species.
Concept introduction: Maximum studies in biodiversity involve field studies than lab studies, as it includes studies involving habitat fragmentation, demographic changes, mortality, fecundity, and many more. Therefore, best results will be obtained only when those studies are done on field. When animal studies are conducted where more than two species are to be studied, their
To explain: Mice captured from one field study and taken to lab will affect the experimental design for the field study or not.
Concept introduction: Maximum studies in biodiversity involve field studies than lab studies, as it includes studies involving habitat fragmentation, demographic changes, mortality, fecundity, and many more. Therefore, best results will be obtained only when those studies are done on field. When animal studies are conducted where more than two species are to be studied, their phenotypic characters are taken for studies to differentiate species initially.

- A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light. How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?arrow_forwardAn experiment has been initiated in a laboratory where recombinant DNA technology has been used to substitute the gene responsible for change of colour in chameleon with another gene responsible for “glow- in-the-dark”. If this experiment is successful, chameleons carrying the “glow-in-the-dark” gene will not be able to change their colours any longer. Discuss the implication of these results in terms of ethics and conservation biology.arrow_forwardIf you were to critique Cesare Lombroso's early biological positivist approach -- What criticism would you make of his work?arrow_forward
- How can evidence from an experiment be explained in relationship to the hypothesis?arrow_forwardWhat are three important thing you will consider when settting up an experiment to investigate a phenomenon? Explain why?arrow_forwardIdeally, 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 studiedarrow_forward
- Watch the following video (https://fod.infobase.com/OnDemandEmbed.aspx? lti=1&token=59536&wID=97629&loid=0&w=400&h=300) then answer the following questions about the following video . 1) In one paragraph, in your own opinion, explain what did you learn about Chimp culture from the video? Explain 3 things? 2) In one paragraph, in your own opinion, explain what evidence is there (using some information from the video) that we evolved from apes to upright walking modern humans? What are the theories of why humans started walking upright?arrow_forwardWhy do scientists design experiments to disprove the hypothesis they are testing instead of trying to prove that the hypothesis is correct?arrow_forwardExplain your answer in some depth and avoid just saying "It is A" or It is B. Defend your answer and explain why you choice that answer choice. Question: Domestic dogs would least likely meet the definition of a single species using which concept?
