Scientific theories are explanations for naturally occurring events or phenomena. Although scientific theories require extensive observations and experimentation, they can change over time as new evidence is discovered. Scientific laws are principles that are also based on extensive observations and experimentation. Although scientific theories can develop into laws, a theory can only be declared a law if it is proven to be without exception under certain stated conditions. Which of the following is true regarding scientific theories, laws, and knowledge? A. Scientific knowledge must be proven by both scientific theories and laws. B. Scientific theories and laws develop from the acquisition of scientific knowledge. C. Scientific theories can lead to scientific knowledge, but scientific theories are not related to scientific knowledge. D. New scientific knowledge is gained by memorizing scientific theories and laws.

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.
