To be useful in the scientific method, an observation must be:

Patricia is told by her physician that her body and brain chemistry have physically adapted to the drug and that she has become dependent on the tranquilizers prescribed for her by another doctor.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. applying the biological species concept, the sterility of ligers reveals that a. lions are probably a subspecies of tigers b. tigers and lions are the same species c. a new species called "ligers" is forming d. tigers and lions are separate species

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
