Which of the following best describes the logic of scientific inquiry
A) If I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observations will support it.
B) If my prediction is correct, it will lead to a testable hypothesis.
C) If my observations are accurate, they will support my hypothesis.
D) If my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results.
A) If I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observations will support it.
B) If my prediction is correct, it will lead to a testable hypothesis.
C) If my observations are accurate, they will support my hypothesis.
D) If my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results.
Explanation
The logic of scientific inquiry is making observations, forming and testing hypotheses. It derives genomic analysis which supports to understand biological unity and diversity at molecular level. That logic of scientific inquiry mainly describes "if my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results."
Hence, the correct answer is (d) if my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results.
If I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observations will support it not the best description for the logic of scientific inquiry. Hence, the option (a) is not the correct answer.
If my prediction is correct, it will lead to a testable hypothesis is not the best description for the logic of scientific inquiry. Hence, the option (b) is not the correct answer.
If my observations are accurate, they will support my hypothesis is not the best description for the logic of scientific inquiry. Hence, the option (c) is not the correct answer.
If my experiments are set up right, they will lead to a testable hypothesis is not the best description for the logic of scientific inquiry. Hence, the option (e) is not the correct answer.
Hence, the correct answer is (d) if my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain test results.
