How should scientists respond when new evidence that challenges current ideas is presented?

Evaluate said evidence and accept it if it is valid. Unfortunately, scientists are all too human and some hold on to ideas that are no longer supported by the evidence, especially if the idea is theirs. That is why consensus and peer review is important in science.

∙ 10y agoAt this point, the information that is already thought to be true is reassessed. This new information or evidence is also assessed. Scientists perform many tests and research both sets of information in an effort to find out where, how, and why, these ideas differ and, if possible, how they can be interrelated. Remember that science is not stable and can be changed as new information is presented and new things discovered.

Which of the following best describes how scientists use gel electrophoresis?
Gel Electrophoresis is the technique for sorting DNA molecules based on their number of base pairs by running a current through the gel. The sample travels opposite of the direction of the electrical charge since DNA is negatively charged. Using a certain primer you can identify the BP of the sample.
By using enzymes scientists can remove and substitute sections of 'quarks' or 'DNA'?
Quarks are fundamental particles of the universe and cannot be subdivided (according to current knowledge). Enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions and there are no reactions that can 'remove sections' of quarks, which are basically indivisible. If you know about restriction endonucleases and DNA ligases, you'll know that these enzymes can cut and ligate together different pieces of DNA.

Why did most scientists not believe in Pangaea?
Because the earth was thought to be made by god, and it was perfect and no continental crusts. The existence of continental crusts is one of the many evidence that proved Pangaea to be a theory. Also, the existence of the fossil records of the same species along the coastlines of 2 different places confirms Pangea. The current movements in earth's crust also provide evidence that Pangaea could have formed. Most scientists were not given this data and therefore the evidence for Pangaea was vague. Only now has the evidence shown more consistency. Science is skeptical my friend.
