Scientists initially believed that the smallest particle of matter was the atom. then, particles smaller than the atom were discovered.

what most likely contributed to the change in this theory?

a. new definition of theory
b. new technology
c. new generation of scientists
d. new way of thinking

D. new way of thinking

Explanation:

The atomic theory was revised as a result of the new way of thinking of scientists. This allowed them designed experiment to gather evidence that would best fit into a model of the atomic structure.

From one scientist to another, there was a constant push to see that experiment about the atom continued frantically. New ideas and results were produced and the basis of the atomic theory according to John Dalton had to be revised.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

i think the answer would d
