Why making measurements is important to scientist?
this is important because the measurements help scienstst to observe the right amount of a substance they are adding to another this also give scientist the approximate measurements of volume
Why should you do a re-evaluation and error analysis at the end of an experiment?
Because you need to see if you made a mistake.
What kind of reasoning do scientist use to test the hypothesis of an experiment?
The reasoning of proving whether the experiment works or not, is acceptable or not, is reasonable or not.
if groups of scientists didn't work together they would go at different speeds and probably get different results need to describe it completely so that when they use that same factor in an experiment they have the data.
Why always the big inventions are done by men?
Because the men are unique and not similar to anyone that he can do what else he want in the world,likewise the big invention too maybe done by the men.
Mendel's family were German however he was born in a part of the Austrian empire now located in the Czech republic. He attended the University of Vienna in 1851 and later taught physics in his Augustinian abbey in Brno (in the Czech rebublic) which now opens its gardens to the public for Mendel walks.
Mendel conducted his experiments before the mode of inheritance was understood, (c1856-1863) and although we can classify his work as genetics, it was conducted well before the discovery of that DNA was the genetic material and the mode for inheritance. His record-keeping was detailed, and around 1900 it was rediscovered when science was shifting away from a blending of traits idea of inheritance towards an inheritance in discrete packages theory.
Mendel's finding showed that phenotypic traits in pea plants were inherited in discrete packages and at predictable frequencies. Mendel proposed two laws the first being the law of independent segregation in which a parent plant passed only one copy of a trait to the offspring. This law was later understood with the discovery of meiosis. His second law was the Law of independent assortment stated that these traits met randomly in the offspring. The combination of these laws in real life gave rise to the set ratios that Mendel observed in life ie 3:1 ratio for a single trait.
Note: There are comments associated with this question. See the Discuss:What_experiments_did_Mendel_conduct_and_what_were_his_resultsto add to the conversation.
Why is forensic scientist jobs important?
The job is important because they help find answers. Scientific facts aren't subject to poor memory or self serving or fearful witnesses!
Georgina Tesla was born on July 6, 1899 in New York City.
Why did many scientists believe that cloning a mammal would be impossible?
Because adult cells are specialized to perform specific tasks. They worried that since they were already set on performing their tasks, they wouldn't be able to make a switch in them to make more that will perform the other things needed.
What electrical unit was named after a french scientist?
The unit of electrical current, the ampere, was named after the French physicist André-Marie Ampère. Ampère is known for his contributions to the field of electromagnetism.
Who were the parents of Nikola Tesla?
Nikola Tesla's parents were Milutin Tesla, a Serbian Orthodox priest, and Djuka Mandic, who came from a family of inventors. Tesla was born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, Austrian Empire (modern-day Croatia).
Name the scientist who first measure the charge of an electron?
The scientist who first measured the charge of an electron was Robert A. Millikan in 1909 through his famous oil drop experiment.
What units of force do scientists use?
Scientists typically use the unit of force called the newton (N). Another commonly used unit is the dyne (dyn), however, the newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
What is it called when a scientist makes a mistake and does the experiment again?
Trial and error is when someone tries something and it doesn't work (the error) so they try again (a new trial) and again until they get the experiment right or get the results they want.
Scientists usually think through all possible options, to minimize error. If the results don't come up even with any way of checking, then they know something is wrong. It is highly unlikely, and usually doesn't happen. The more important the experiment, the more time the scientist will spend calculating, and recalculating the possible ways the experiment can occur, or have problems.
What are the five attitudes that a scientist must have?
Five attitudes of a scientist:
Not to be an ultimate materialist, but having spiritual bent of mind
Admiring the wonderful creation that provides umpteen possibilities of happenings
Humanitarian
Respecting and honoring others ideas and encouraging the youngsters
Exploring the nature and expressing the findings in a simple and lucid language.
What is a process used by scientist to find answers to questions?
The process is called the Scientific Method.
What would a scientist do if the common theories do not apply to the findings of his or her work?
create a new theory to apply to the research he or she had completed
A scientist observes the way an animal behaves when its regular feeding schedule is disrupted?
i would have to say that my balls are to big to walk with so i tie them to my legs that way i don't step on them.
What is the purpose of goggles that scientists use?
Safety goggles are worn by many crafts and trades, in order to protect the eyes. In the case of scientists, splashes from acids or alkalies would be a pretty obvious hazard.
