D. Are there any safety concerns I have not been
informed of?
A. Animals that are donated by their
owners may be used for any purpose.
B. Certain laws must be followed when
performing animal-based research.
C. It is against most state & federal laws &
professional standards to use animals
in research.
D. There are no restrictions on how to
treat animals that are used to test
potentially life-saving drugs.
A. Undocumented data
B. Careful observations
C. Unsupported interpretations
D. Only data that support a current theory
A. A new phenomenon is too complex to be
explained by just one theory.
B. A new phenomenon can never be explained
by current theory, so new theories are
needed.
C. Scientists like to have many theories so that
new studies of the phenomenon are not
needed.
D. Scientists can question predictions made
by each theory & experiment to see which
theory makes the most accurate
predictions.
