Why is it important than an experiment include a control group?

Depending on the experiment, expectation can be very powerful. In a medical experiment, a control group can help determine whether the drug being tested is responsible for the result rather than expectation or something else. For a study of a rare occurrence, a control group may help an experimenter determine whether the outcome is due to chance.


Scientists do their experimental tests more than once so they can reduce the effects of chance errors.?

Yes? There is always a chance that experimental results happened by chance (something called a Type I error in Statistics which is bad, but over-emphasized). Replications (which are not done often enough) help protect us against such "accidental" effects because reproducing the results by chance is FAR less likely than just getting them once by chance. But reproducing REAL effects should be quite easy. Though if it is the same scientist, in the same lab, it is possible the results can be replicated even when they shouldn't be replicated, not by chance, but because of something systematic (dirty or faulty equipment, poor randomization, experimenter accidently communicates something to the participant, ...).

What color horse would you get if you breed a bay to a chestnut?

Bay could be AaEE AaEe AAEE or AAEe the roan component could be RnRn or Rnrn. The color of the parents and grandparents may help the breeder determine if the parent could be homozygous for Rn, A. The chestnut parent is --ee. Again the color of the parents and grandparents may help determine the genetics of this parent at the agouti site. If the bay roan parent is AaEeRnrn and the chestnut parent is Aaee 25% chance of chestnut roan 25% chance of chestnut 12.5 % chance of black 12.5% chance of black roan 12.5 % chance of bay 12.5% chance of bay roan

Is it better to try glucosamine and chondroitin before deciding on hip surgery?

It is better to try as many alternatives as you can and have time to do. You may, or may not, find something to help, but at least you have a chance to find something before you do something that cannot be undone. If your surgeon recommended a hip replacement, there really is only a slim chance that anything else may help without, but it's worth a shot.
