GUIDE WITH PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
(2025–2026)
how many species live in planet earth? - correct answer -we don't know. 3-5 million
why is life so incredibly diverse yet so strangely similar? - correct answer -evolution. there is a
single non random process that has generated all the living beings on earth therefor they share
similarity that emerge through time and are carried forth through generation to generation.
True or False? Biodiversity on Earth will likely decrease in the near future. - correct answer -
true. due to the finger prints of human activity - extinction/invasive species/rapid change in
global climate/habitat destruction
True or False? Scientists believe in evolution even though they currently lack evidence for the
theory. - correct answer -false. there are large amounts of information, both experimental and
observational, that support evolution
Opposition to irrational numbers was based on evidence that such numbers cannot exist. -
correct answer -false
Opposition to irrational numbers stemmed from a worldview involving naturalistic evolution. -
correct answer -false
The belief that irrational numbers cannot exist reflects religion more than science. - correct
answer -true
Modern mathematicians accept irrational numbers because such numbers provide more
accurate solutions to problems than whole numbers do. - correct answer -true
, The scientific method relies on ____________. - correct answer -models
observations
experiments
A model is a formal description of a scientific hypothesis. Which of the following types of
models provides the most precise description of a hypothesis? - correct answer -mathematical
An experiment enables one to demonstrate that a correlation between two variables results
from cause and effect. - correct answer -true
A well designed experiment ___________.
a. controls for environmental and genetic factors.
b. involves replication of experimental subjects.
c. randomizes experimental subjects among treatments.
d. achieves all of the above.
e. I don't know the answer. - correct answer -all of the above
What is induction? - correct answer -the process or action of bringing about or giving rise to
something.
"isolation, starvation, and other forms of stress induction"
