how many species live in planet Earth? - ANSWER unknown-roughly 3 to 5 million
why is life so incredibly diverse, yet so strangely similar? - ANSWER organisms can contain similar

true or false: opposition to irrational numbers was based on evidence that such numbers cannot exist -
ANSWER false
true or false: opposition to irrational numbers stemmed from a worldview involving naturalistic

, true or false: the belief that irrational numbers cannot exist reflects religion more than science -
ANSWER true
true or false: modern mathematicians accept irrational numbers because such numbers provide more
accurate solutions to problems than whole numbers do - ANSWER true
the scientific method relies on.... - ANSWER models, observations, and experiments
a model is a formal description of a scientific hypothesis. which provides the most precise description of
a hypothesis? - ANSWER
true or false: an experiment enables one to demonstrate that a correlation between two variables
results from cause and effect - ANSWER true
when one copy of an allele determines the phenotype of an individual - ANSWER dominant
when two copies of an allele are needed to express a certain phenotype - ANSWER recessive
when an individual carries two different alleles for a gene - ANSWER heterozygous
when an individual carries two identical alleles for a gene - ANSWER homozygous
