Dr. Katherine Pollard, a biostatistical researcher, recently changed the method that she used to compare human and chimpanzee DNA. Her research showed that the differences between the two species’ DNA are in segments called switches, which turn certain genes on or off. What is the most likely outcome of Dr. Pollard’s research?
Other scientists will repeat her analysis and this may lead to changes in theories.
The laws of segregation and independent assortment will change.
Dr. Pollard will change experimental methods and repeat the study.
The hypothesis will be rewritten to match the outcome of the study.
