_________________ are used to ask questions, build hypotheses, and set predictions. correct
answers observations
Because frogs are exposed to atrazine, maybe the chemical impacts male testes.
example of what? correct answers hypothesis
Higher exposure to atrazine will result in an increased number of male frogs who make eggs in
their testes.
