Do scientists consider hypothesis as being a fact?
No. In science, facts are those phenomena which can be consistently observed and measured. A hypothesis is a testable, educated guess about what sort of rules might govern the behavior of the observed phenomena. Once a hypothesis is formed, it is then tested to determine how well it fits teh phenomena, and whether it can therefore provide a useful means of predicting the behavior of similar phenomena. If the hypothesis fails to provide an explanation with verifiable predictive power, it is rejected, and a new hypothesis is formed, then that new hypothesis is tested. If the hypothesis is verified -- testing shows that it does provide a useful explanation of teh phenomena with some predictive power -- then it may eventually become a _theory_, providing it stands up to repeated testing, and is not falsified (and therefore rejected). A theory represents a well-tested explanation for how a particular phenomenon or particular phenomena behave. All of the "testing" refered to above will be carried out according to the _scientific method_. So a "theory" is not a fact, but an -explanation- for observed facts. And a "Hypothesis" is a working model for a theory, a model awaiting testing, or in the process of being tested.
What do you think of the theory of evolution?
It does not mater what anyone thinks about the theory of evolution by natural selection. The theory of evolution by natural selection is the best explanation we have for much of the observed and observable fact of evolution. The theory is internally consistent with the fact of evolution, it is supported by myriad lines of converging evidence and it generates testable predictions in the form of scientific hypothesis. The opinion of no one is needed by the theory of evolution by natural selection and educated people have come to accept the theory.
What best describes the relative number and appearance of the pollen grains observed using these two objectives?
low power:100 small pollen grains high power:25 large pollen grains
What describes the transformation hypothesis of evolution?
Answer 1Transformation hypothesis:Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.This is an observed and observable fact.Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms. This is a theory, not a hypothesis.Natural selection is the adaptive change driver of evolution by adapting individuals to their environment so they are reproductively more successful than their con-specifics and their genes are more frequently represented in the next generations of the population; evolution.Answer 2To my knowledge, there is no such thing as the "transformation hypothesis of evolution". Especially note that evolution does not describe any kind of transformation, but a process of undirected, gradual change over generations. Using the term 'transformation' might instil inaccurate ideas about what evolution is, and what evolutionary theory states about it.
What kind of specimen can be observed under interference microscope?
specimen observed
Does a scientific hypothesis describe an observed pattern in nature without attempting to explain it?
False
How scientific theories differ from scientific law?
A scientific law is a statement that describes what scientists expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions. Unlike a theory, a scientific law describes an observed pattern without attempting to explain it.

How can a scientific hypothesis be used to answer a specific question an observed phenomenon?
A hypothesis can suggest an explanation for an observed phenomenon that can later be tested through experimentation
How can a scientific hypothesis be used to answer a specific question about an observation phenomenon?
A hypothesis can suggest an explanation for an observed phenomenon that can later be tested through experimentation
What do scientists use to answer questions?
The scientific process. 1. Observe 2. Create a hypothesis to explain what you observed 3. Experiment to test your hypothesis
In the scientific method What statement attempts to explain an observed phenomenon?
The scientific method uses a hypothesis or hypothetical explanation, which is tested to determine its validity.
A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why things happen in the manner observed is a scientific?
Scientific Theory.
What is an exlpanation that answers a scientific question and can be tested called?
A hypothesis. It is a possible explanation for an observed characteristic or phenomenon.A hypothesis usually becomes known as a theory when experimentation validates part of all of it.

Which term describes an observed pattern in nature without any attempt to explain it?
scientific law
What process do scientists use to answer questions?
a trial. sometimes called a clinical trial.
