What are scientists that study animals called?
The most likely answer is paleontologist.
What are scientists that study ancient animals called?
The most likely answer is paleontologist.
What do scientists most likely consider as important evidence when classifying an unknown organism?
Scientists most likely consider KNOWN characteristics of KNOWN and named organisms when first classifying an unknown organism. They look for similarities and differences between what is known versus unknown. Major differences exclude known categories; strong similarities include the new organism into a known category. This is how scientists continually build a "family tree" of every organism.
Do animals have orgasms?
dolphins are the only animals known on earth besides humans that have sex for pleasure as well as for reproductive purposes.
How do scientist classify animals by?
Taxonomists usually use a set of criteria that have to do with reproduction. So even if two species can reproduce an offspring, taxonomists usually make the distinction that the offspring must be able to reproduce as well. If this is the case, then they are likely to consider the two organisms as one species.
In the process of classifying objects people are especially likely to make use of?
Prototypes.
What inferences can you draw from the fact that animals are safer in areas where scientists are carring out their work inference about animals?
Answer: They are raised in a Lab Answer: You cannot conclude that because animals are safer where scientists are that they are ONLY lab animals; it is very possible (and extremely likely in this scenario) that they are wild animals. If the animals are in a lab then safety is moot; their is no need for drawing an inference, there is no danger to the animals. How does this follow? The question has 4 postulates: 1) There is danger to the animals: scientists reduce the danger. You cannot reduce something that doesn't already exist, therefore initial danger has to be > 0. 2) The initial danger is NOT from the scientists: see #1, the scientists augment the existing danger, they are not the originators. 3) In a closed environment there is no external danger to the animals: a controlled environment defies uncontrolled danger; all is controlled. 4) The scientists are not working in a closed environment (lab) - see #2, #3 the scientists are the only source of danger in the lab environment; since by definition there is initial danger besides the scientists there must something not being controlled, BUT a lab is a controlled environment. 5) Inferences are based on incomplete data, generally about environments that are not controllable. QED they are speaking of animals in the wild. You can say it's possible: 1) Animals are safer because they are being watched closely; poachers are less likely to interfere. 2) A change in the environment (the scientists there) can disrupt the predators and more animals are protected from attack by predator. (a numbers game - are 10 antelopes worth bothering one lion?) 3) Diseased animals are more likely to be cured or destroyed (ending the passing of disease) by scientists thereby increasing health of the rest of the herd.
DSM-IV is most likely to be criticized for?
A. classifying an excessively broad range of human behaviors as psychologically disordered.
Is there a animal modeling agency?
Of course not! Scientists can do a lot of things, but they can't manufacture animals. Of course, they could design an animal, but most likely it won't become a real animal.
What does relative dating mean in biology?
Scientists can compare the ages of the fossils in one layer of the earth and then compare thoes to fossils in another layer of the earth. The one that is deeper is most likely to be older:)
How do you decide which event is most likely?
You compare their probabilities. The one with the greatest probability is the most likely.
Are scientists likely to cure all diseases in the future?
yes most likely they can but u never know..... =)
