A) Why is evolution called a scientific theory? (1 point)

It deals with topics that are completely testable in the laboratory.
It involves the formation of all living things on the planet.
There is lots of evidence to support it.
Many scientists all over the world accept it as true.

C) There is lots of evidence to support it.

Evolution is called a scientific theory because it is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world, backed by a significant body of evidence gathered through various scientific disciplines, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. This evidence supports the principles of evolution, showing it to be a robust and tested explanation of how organisms change over time.

C) to explain natural and physical phenomena

The goal of a scientific theory is to provide a comprehensive explanation of a set of natural or physical phenomena, based on a collection of evidence and observations. Theories help to understand and predict how the natural world works.

A) What happens when new evidence is found that contradicts part of a theory? (1 point)

Science reevaluates the validity of the theory.
It gets ignored to maintain the original idea.
The theory is entirely discarded for a new one.
New pieces are added to the original ideas, and the contradictory part is kept.

A) Science reevaluates the validity of the theory.

When new evidence is found that contradicts part of a theory, the scientific community reevaluates the validity of the theory. This may lead to modifications of the existing theory to accommodate the new evidence, or, in some cases, it may result in the development of a new theory if the original one can no longer adequately explain the observed phenomena. Science is an iterative process that relies on evidence and critical analysis.

A) How does a hypothesis differ from a scientific theory? (1 point)

Theories are educated guesses based on certain data, while hypotheses explain natural
phenomenon and are validated by experimentation.
Hypotheses are testable and rely on evidence for verification, while theories only exist
conditionally and rely on possibility.
Theories always lead to the development of new scientific ideas/laws and are not proven
scientifically, while hypotheses are.
Theories are well established with lots of evidence data to support their claims, while hypotheses
are based on limited data.

D) Theories are well established with lots of evidence data to support their claims, while hypotheses are based on limited data.

A hypothesis is a specific, testable prediction about the outcome of an experiment or observation, often based on limited prior knowledge or observations. In contrast, a scientific theory is a broader explanation of phenomena that is well-supported by extensive evidence and has stood up to rigorous testing and scrutiny over time.

A) How is a hypothesis similar to theory? (1 point)

Both a hypothesis and a theory need evidence to support them.
Both a hypothesis and a theory are conclusions about why things happen.
Both a hypothesis and a theory are statements that refer only to data.
Both a hypothesis and a theory are always accepted as true statements.

A) Both a hypothesis and a theory need evidence to support them.

Both a hypothesis and a theory rely on evidence to be established and accepted within the scientific community. Hypotheses must be tested and validated through experimentation and observation, while theories are based on a substantial body of evidence that supports and explains a particular phenomenon.
