Determine if the following statement is true or false and why, "a hypothesis can be proven true"

Explanation:

I wonder who makes these questions sometimes. It can also be proven false.

I guess you should answer true, but I'd be careful about what the accepted answer is. A hypothesis can be proven true. If you were going to try and prove that rain water is part of the water cycle, you could devise a test that would show it to be true.

It is based on an educated guess and it is a flat statement, not a question.

Rainwater is part of the water cycle.

Would be an example.

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).

plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. the absorbed water is transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes: it transports dissolved minerals around the plant.
