After reading about the scientific method, explain why it's important to follow the steps outlined in the scientific method carefully. How can researchers prevent mistakes and errors in their experiments?

A good answer should include the following:

Importance:

So that the results would be due to the specific variables tested and not due to something else
So that other researchers could follow the steps and carry out the same experiments
Prevent mistakes:

Carefully selecting variables
Following the steps outlined in the procedure
Carefully and accurately measuring quantitative data

The production of cells during mitosis into specialized function is recombination or differentiation

Use this dichotomous key for insect identification to identify the insect shown. 1. a. insect has one pair of wings. order diptera b. insect has two pairs of wings. go to #2 2. a. front wings thicker in texture than hind wings go to #3. b. front and hind wings are same texture throughout. go to #4 3. a. front wings are short order dermaptera b. front wings cover entire abdomen order coleoptera 4. a. wings with scale on all parts of their area. order lepidoptera b. wings without scales go to #5. 5. a. hind wings smaller than front wings. order ephemeroptera b. front and hind wings nearly equal in size. order odonata the insect pictured is in the order diptera. ephemeroptera. coleoptera. odonata.

Scientists are conducting a study on the effectiveness of a new drug on memory loss. they are giving some of the test subjects the new drug to find out if it improves their long-term memory. which are possible limitations of this study? check all that apply. a) test subjects may want to participate in additional experiments. b) test subjects may think they should be paid more. c) test subjects may get bored and want to quit early. d) test subjects may have to travel during the experiment. e) test subjects may have full-time jobs. this is multiple choice. you for the !
