Consider the following prediction.
prediction: if cows need to eat protein to build muscle tissue, then an
increase in the amount of protein in a cow's diet will result in an increase in
the average weight of a cow over a two-year period.
which of the following best describes this prediction?
o
a. the hypothesis is not useful because it is too long as a sentence
and therefore difficult to read.
o
b. the prediction is useful because it proves that the hypothesis is
true before any data have been collected.
o
c. the prediction is useful because it specifies what observations
will be made to test a hypothesis.
o
d. the prediction is not useful because scientists are skeptical of
anyone who claims to see into the future.

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. “capture” as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).
