Animal cloning: - ✔✔And genetic engineering, has been accomplished for several different species
Pharmacogenomics: - ✔✔The study of how variations in the DNA sequence of the human genome affect
the response to medications and disease predispositions
Forensic applications of biotechnology: - ✔✔All of these are correct
Observation of and wonder at the workings of nature are what initiate "why" and "how" type questions.
Science is a system of: - ✔✔Hypothesis making and testing to discern and validate observable facts
generating evidence based knowledge

✔✔an atom
Which of the following statements best describes the logic of the scientific method? - ✔✔If my
hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results
Which of the following best distinguishes hypotheses from theories in science? - ✔✔Hypotheses usually
are narrow in scope; theories have much broader explanatory power
Some people say that Evolution is " 'just' a theory". Used
in this way, modified by the word just indicates that these
people may be confusing with the word theory with what
other word(s): - ✔✔idea
Superstitions are: - ✔✔Irrational beliefs that actions not logically related to a course of events influence
its outcome

Empirical results: - ✔✔Are based on observation
Which of the following statements is correct? - ✔✔A hypothesis that does not generate a testable
prediction is not useful
The placebo effect: - ✔✔Is the frequently observed, poorly understood phenomenon that people tend
to respond favorably to any treatment
In controlled experiments: - ✔✔One variable is manipulated while others are held constant
Statistical methods make it possible to: - ✔✔Determine how likely it is that certain results have occurred
by chance
Anecdotal evidence: - ✔✔Can seem to reveal links between two phenomena,
but the links may not actually exist
A relationship between phenomena that has been established based on large amounts of observational
and experimental data is referred to as: - ✔✔a theory
What is the meaning of the statement "correlation does not imply causation"? - ✔✔Just because two
variables vary in a similar pattern does not mean that changing one variable causes a change in the other
The Scientific Method is: - ✔✔Both a method to gain a body of knowledge and an intellectual activity
encompassing observation, description, experimentation, and explanation of natural phenomena
