||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

scientific method= hypothetico-deductive method - correct answer✔✔a way of discovering ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
facts and principles: where questions are posed, hypotheses are suggested, predictions and
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
tests are made to determine if the hypothesis would appear correct.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
hypothesis - correct answer✔✔an educated guess. ex) if a strain of yeast is non-filamentous, ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
it will not grow as large as a wild type yeast.

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
simpler unless there's a good reason to make them more complex
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
consilience - correct answer✔✔the unity of knowledge. Used to describe a scientific theory ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

a double helix shape

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
structure of DNA. ||\\//|| ||\\//||

, inductuve reasoning - correct answer✔✔specific to general ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Science is self-correcting - correct answer✔✔Bad results and ideas will eventually be rejected
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
or corrected

created everything by Miracle ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Evolution Hypothesis - correct answer✔✔organisms Change Through time, survival of the
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
fittest
acquired characteristics - correct answer✔✔Characteristics of an organism gained during its

lifetime
natural selection - correct answer✔✔A natural process resulting in the evolution of
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
organisms best adapted to the environment. ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Charles Darwin - correct answer✔✔English natural scientist who formulated a theory of
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

went on 5 year trip and found 3 things:

1) great variation within a single species (suggesting that a species is not fixed in its body

2) giant armadillo fossils where regular small armadillos lived (suggesting they might have
