- 150 patients with Crohn’s disease are given an experimental treatment in which they all drink “cocktails” containing thousands of pinworm eggs. Within one week, 72% of the patients report a reduction in their abdominal pain. Fill in the following table. Is there a control treatment (and, if so, what is it)? Is there any accounting for individual variation? Is there repetition in the experiment? What, if any, confounding variables are not addressed in the experiment? Can we say with some confidence that ingesting pinworm eggs is an effective treatment for the symptoms of Crohn’s disease?arrow_forwardWhat Causes Evolution?arrow_forwardExplain the relationship between adaptation and theprocess of biological evolution.arrow_forward
