BIOL 1001 : Bio Practice Test
Document Summary
Lol: a good experiment tests only one variable. Mice in group a: 1 pint tap water, 1 square foot cage, 12 hours of sunlight, normal diet. Mice in group b: 1 pint tap water, 1 square foot cage, 12 hours of sunlight, low carb diet: amount of water, cage size, amount of light, diet type, a scientist finds the cure for cancer. Does this prove she has the cure: yes. She has illustrated in her conclusion that she has accepted her hypothesis based on her data: yes. Her experiment must be repeated by herself and other scientists to see if they get the same results: no. It will not be possible to cure cancer: what is a theory, a fact that will never change, an educated guess, a general explanation developed through extensive and reproducible observations. It will rain tomorrow: all living things evolved from a common ancestor, zebras have stripes, taking vitamins will keep me healthy.
