A 19th Century British scientist - who proposed a theory of
evolution based on natural selection. - correct answer-
Charles Darwin
After a bombshell finding was published on the connection
between processed foods and teenage obesity, another research
team decided to exactly recreate that study to test its
____________ - correct answer- replicability
An 18th and 19th century French thinker who proposed an early
evolutionary theory - that organisms change in response to their
environment. - correct answer- Jean Baptiste LaMarck
An 18th century French thinker - considered the father of
paleontology. His examination of fossils revealed that many
species had gone extinct - a challenge to the 'great chain of
being' theory. - correct answer- Georges Cuvier
, An 18th century French thinker - who challenged the ideas of
the scala naturae (and purely biblical views on nature). His
suggestion that organisms could be transformed from an
idealized form into variations (eg, tiger, lion, housecat, etc)
helped to set the stage for evolutionary thinking. - correct
answer- George-Louis Leclerc Compte de Buffon
An important historical scientist - who attempted to organize
and name a hierarchy of life. His ideas were tied to the 'scala
naturae'. - correct answer- Carl Linnaeus
From basic principles and observations, scientists have predicted
an increase in global temperatures due to the 'greenhouse'
effect resulting from greenhouse gas emissions. Based upon this
prediction, biological researchers suggest that animal species
should be likely to move up mountains and hills as temperatures
increase - as they pursue their preferred ideal temperature
habitat (and associated plants and animals). This second
prediction (that animal species should be moving up in
elevation) is in this case an example of what? - correct
answer- deductive reasoning
prediction
In a study of the effect of processed food consumption on
obesity in adolescents, this factor would be the amount of
