Which part of experimental design is most important to a scientist when replicating an experiment? having exactly the same data as the previous experiment using the same procedure and variables as the previous experiment conducting an experiment similar to the previous experiment using the same laboratory that was used in the previous experiment

The answer to your question is below:

Explanation:

Having exactly the same data as the previous experiment I think that having the same data as the previous experiment is extremely important but not the most important, for me is the second most important.

Using the same procedure and variables as the previous experiment For me, this is the most importan thing when a scientist is designing an experiment, because if he or she follow exactly the same procedure and variables, then the results will be very close.

Conducting an experiment similar to the previous experiment  This characteristic is important but not the most important.

Using the same laboratory that was used in the previous experiment It is not important the laboratory, if the procedure and variables are the same, your experiment must give the same results in whatever laboratory.

the answer is a
