Skill 1: Applying The Scientific Method
Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge to understanding of the natural
world by following a systematic methodology based on evidence. The scientific
method is an approach to gaining insights about the way nature works by creating and
testing scientific hypotheses. A hypothesis is a proposed testable explanation of a
natural phenomenon, usually based on prior knowledge and original observations. A
hypothesis forms a basis of predictions regarding properties or behavior of a natural
ei
system under study. Once formulated, the predictions are tested by a carefully
designed experiment, additional observations, or simulations, and the merits of the
hypothesis are evaluated in light of the data. The hypothesis is falsified when data
of
differ from the predictions and, consequently, it is either modified or rejected. The
modified hypothesis is then retested, further modified iteratively, until its predictions
Sys
are consistent with the…
ACTIVITY 9.2: Essay.
Directions: Read the situation and identify the points of Darwin’s natural selection. There are 2 types of worms: worms that eat at night (nocturnal) and worms that eat during the day (diurnal). The birds eat during the day and seem to be eating ONLY the diurnal worms. The nocturnal worms are in their burrows during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce, they have about 500 babies but only 100 of tthese 500 ever become old enough to reproduce.A.

One method is to compare their physical features, and another is to compare their DNA. Can scientists also use similarities in the embyros of two animal species to help determine how closely they are related? No, comparing embryos of organisms does not help determine how closely two species are related. Scientists can obtain the same information comparing adult organisms No, comparing embryos of organisms does not help determine how closely two species are related. The embryos change too much as they grow into adult organisms Yes, comparing embryos is a useful way of determining how closely two species are related. There may be important similarities in the features of the embryos, even when the adults look very different. Yes, it is sometimes useful to compare embryos, but only when the adults are very similararrow_forward
- Topic: NATURAL SELECTION ACTIVITY Simulate a case of natural selection in a predator-prey situation. STEP 1 Gather your materials. You should have: . 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon, and a length of tape (each will be used toestablish the distinct predator "feeding apparatuses")· 4 cups (each will serve as a distinct predator's "mouth")· 3 types of prey (such as popcorn, macaroni, and kidney beans)· 1 clearly delineated habitat (such as a table, a box, or a roped-off areaof ground). 1 timer that allows for counting by seconds (such as a watch or cellphone) STEP 2 Set up the predators. There is variation in predatory feeding apparatuses in this population. You will choose one of the available predator feeding apparatuses: fork, spoon, knife, or four fingers (with your thumb taped to your hand so that you cannot use it). You will also take a cup, which will represent the predator's mouth. Your goal will be to use your feeding apparatus to collect food and put it inyour mouth.

QUESTION: During the winter, many species of amphibians and reptiles go into a hibernation-like state called overwintering. They eat little or no food, slow their metabolism and breathing rate dramatically, and most of their bodily functions shut down. Interestingly, many of these species choose to spend the winter underwater. Why might it be advantageous to overwinter at the bottom of a pond rather than on land?

Did you revise your criteria later? Why? 2. An adaptation is a structure or function that is common in a population because it enhances the ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment.

- I need help identifying which assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is most affected, then indicating whether what is being described will act to establish or violate equilibrium, and lastly, whether the statement will increase or decrease that population’s genetic variation. Corals synchronize spawning to occur on a single night during a particular tidal event, such as a spring tide. On that night individuals release sperm and eggs into the water, which then form zygotes. Larvae are carried off by currents and settle elsewhere. What assumption is this breeding style affecting and what will it do to VG of that coral species?arrow_forward3. Module 1. Ecomarobs a. Observe the morphologies of the eight different lizard species. For now, assume that you have just discovered these lizards and you don't even know if they are 8 different species or 1 species or some other number of species. You just have 8 lizards, 4 from each island. b. Following the module, group the lizards by morphology. i. How many groups did you find?_ ii. What sorts of traits or characters did you use to group the lizards? c. Then take some more careful measurements as shown and regroup them if needed. i. Did your measurements match the reference set? ii. Compare Lamellae Count, Relative Hindlimb Length, and Relative Tail Length among your specimens, and regroup your species based on these characters. iii. Did your groupings change? If so, how? iv.
