A a dedicated scientist, Mr. Curiosa did not give up. He persevered with his efforts to demonstrate that he wad made a better, healthier dog food. He wanted to prove that his special formula worked. To test this, his son
brought home a Black Labrador puppy named Coal. Mr. Curiosa went to his local dog shelter and brought home
an adorable, Chihuahua puppy named Dirt. Thus began his second experiment.
Mr. Curiosa added his special vitamin mixture to some commercial dog food and labeled it 'A' Then he took
the same commercial dog food but this time he did not add any of his vitamins. He labeled this dog food 'B'.
Coal received food A and Dirt received food B.
For an entire year Mr. Curiosa made sure that each dog got their own food. He brought the dogs to his company
picnic and proudly showed them off. Coal, the black Labrador, had grown twice as big as Dirt who was a
Chihuahua.
"You think you made some fancy dog food, huh?" one friend said, "You can not prove that your special dog
food is better. Labradors always grow bigger than Chihuahuas! His larger size had nothing to do with your
fancy dog food." Mr. Curiosa realized that his friend was right. He had made a mistake in his second
experiment

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.
