Question 1 When it comes to forensic science, which statement would be an example of modernist thinking?

The suspect's DNA seems to match the sample picked up at the crime scene but since technology is always changing, it might not really be a match.

Yes, the suspect's footprints were found at the scene of the crime, but the suspect lives close and might have walked there another time.

The gun has been fired 17 times and all 17 bullets match the bullet in the victim, so that proves it is the murder weapon.

The fingerprint found at the scene may appear to be a match, but there is no guarantee that this is the correct suspect.

Blood has traveled from the heart to the toes. which describes the next step of the circulation process?

Forensic scientists think they know the identity of a skeleton. what rule should they use to select a relative whose dna could be used to try to confirm the identity?

Our planet has experienced five major extinctions in the four billion year history of life. the first, 450 million years ago, occurred shortly after the evolution of the first land-based plants and 100 million years after the cambrian explosion. the second extinction occurred 350 million years ago, causing the formation of coal forests. next earth experienced two mass extinctions during the triassic period, between 250 and 200 million years ago. the fifth mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago, ending the reptilian dominance of the earth. according to richard leakey, the sixth mass extinction is happening right now. leakey suggests that we, the human race, are the cause. each year, at our hand, approximately 50,000 species vanish from earth. he believes that man is destroying earth at a rate comparable with the impact of a giant asteroid. leakey's statistics indicate that 50% of earth's species will become extinct within the next 100 years assuming leakey's hypothesis of a sixth mass extinction to be true, how will we expect the model to change? a) a sharp spike in the graph approximately 100 million years from now b) a dip in the graph, followed by a sharp spike about 100 million years from now c) a sharp spike in the graph immediately following the "0" location of the x axis d) a plateau following the "0" mark on the x axis, followed by a gradual rise to a new peak
