ALAT Ch16
When is the hypothesis developed during a research study? - answer At the very
beginning, when planning the study
In most facilities, no research experiments on live vertebrate animals may begin before
the experiments are approved by: - answerthe IACUC.
Although the IACUC must approve all new studies before they can begin, researchers
may add new experimental groups or procedures during the study without IACUC
approval. - answer False
In a research experiment, what is the term to describe the group of animals that does
not receive the experimental treatment? - answer The control animals
Planned or controlled manipulations within a research study are called: - answer
experimental variables.
In a research experiment testing a new drug, which group of animals receives the test
substance? - answerThe experimental group
In a research protocol, what are the humane endpoints? - answerThe criteria used to
determine when an animal should be euthanized
Which of the following is an example of basic research? - answerStudying the normal
brain function of rats
In a research study, what is a variable? - answerFactors or conditions that can change
the results or outcome of a study
Which of the following best describes the experimental design of a study? - answerA
plan that describes the methods used to answer the research question or hypothesis
Laboratory animals that naturally acquire a disease or injury similar to a human
condition are called: - answerspontaneous models
Which of the following is an example of applied research? - answerUsing cows for
developing a new vaccine for chicken pox
Which of the following describes the correct sequential order of the parts of the research
process? - answerHypothesis → Experimental plan → IACUC protocol → Conduct of
study → Analysis of data → Reporting of results
