To explain:
The reason why a biologist be skeptical of the findings that social rodents kill themselves and their offsprings if the group becomes overcrowded.
Concept introduction:
Animals show different types of behavior according to the environment, though the behavior of an organism also depends on the genes mostly. Some organisms very much caring towards their offsprings and their surrounding animals or organisms and they either look for their suitability either by making the availability of

What are the main differences between inductive and deductive reasoning in the scientific method? Inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are two different methods of reasoning that are used in the scientific method. Inductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions from specific observations or pieces of evidence. For example, if a scientist observes that a particular species of bird always builds its nest in a particular way, they might use inductive reasoning to conclude that all birds of that species build their nests in that way. Inductive reasoning is often used to generate hypotheses, which can then be tested through further observation or experimentation. Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, involves starting with a general principle or theory and using it to reach a specific conclusion. For example, if a scientist knows that all animals need…arrow_forwardDo any other animals apart from humans use Reason? Are humans smarter than other animals?arrow_forward
