Based on the current understanding of this operon, which hypothesis would be useful for James to test?
Addition of allolactose to the bacterial growth media should increase the speed at which the bacteria metabolize the sugar lactose.
Removal of the RNA polymerase molecule should increase the amount of bacterial growth on the plate.
Addition of the fruit sugar, fructose, should inhibit bacterial growth.
Splicing the genes of the bacteria with other organisms should increase bacterial growth rates.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
