Module Five (5): Science in Action Page 5.1.4 Great Experimental Design MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION What does the Conclusion section of your course project require you to do? defend your opinions report on famous experiments form a testable hypothesis analyze data from a research study Correct. Your course project requires you to develop a scientific hypothesis related to your research issue and describe how it might be tested. 3 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS > What was Mendel’s experimental question? Why do offspring look similar to their parents? Why are some peas green and others yellow? How does inheritance work? Why do some traits skip generations? Correct. By focusing on a specific type of plant (pea plants) and one specific trait (pea color), Mendel could predict an answer to his question.
3 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS <|> What is one way a question can be unsuitable for experimental research? It doesn’t ask something new. Its language is too complicated. Its subject is too specific. Its scope is too broad. Correct. When a question is overly broad and unfocused, researchers cannot predict the experimental outcomes. 3 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS < In what way was Mendel’s research question suitably focused? It focused on inheritance. It focused on the monastery gardens. It focused on plants, not animals. It focused on a specific type of plant. Correct. Narrowing his focus to inheritance of one trait in just one type of plant provided Mendel with a good foundation for his hypothesis and experiment.
2 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS > What was Mendel's hypothesis? Plants with no dominant genes for a trait will express the recessive trait. Plants have certain traits that have “skipped” generations. Plants inherit traits from their parents at random. Plants receive one gene for a trait from each of their parents. Correct. Mendel hypothesized that plants inherit one gene from each of their parents and that the combination of these two genes determine the visible expression of that trait. 2 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS < What did Mendel predict about pea plants? They would display entirely new genes for pea color. They would produce more peas with the recessive color. They would die before producing any peas. They would produce more peas with the dominant color. Correct. Mendel predicted that the plants would produce more peas with the dominant color. For instance, if yellow peas were dominant to green peas, the plants would produce more yellow peas.
