Question
Chapter 25, Problem 16PIAT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The data provided in the given section and predict the aspects of data on which the scientists are likely to be confident and the aspects of the data that are likely to change.
Introduction:
The data, about which the researchers are likely to be very confident include the age, morphological feature of the fossils, geographical location of the fossils. They would also be sure about the sudden or unexpected extinction in the lineage that existed for a very long time. The following data depict the information of the evolution of the various species and the phylogenetic tree.

Science proceeds by virtue of collecting evidence that confirms a hypothesis.
True or False
The scientific method is the process that scientists use to find out new information. It involves a question, a hypothesis, a prediction, collecting data, and analyzing that data to make a conclusion. How would you use the scientific method to answer this question: Do mice live longer when they are fed high-sugar diets?
