Recently, researchers from Stanford University have changed mouse skin cells into mouse nerve cells. This was accomplished by inserting genes that control the synthesis of certain proteins into the skin cells. This type of research is often successful in advancing knowledge regarding the functioning of human cells because

cells present in humans often function in similar ways to cells present in other organisms

cells from different types of organisms function differently when transplanted into humans

the cells in all complex organisms contain the same genes and function in similar ways

cellular research using mice can always be applied to human cells since all complex organisms produce the same proteins

Which statement best expresses a basic scientific assumption?

Interpretation of experimental results has provided explanations for all natural phenomena.

If a conclusion is valid, similar investigations by other scientists should result in the same conclusion.

For any conclusion to be valid, the design of the experiment requires that only two groups be compared.

After a scientist formulates a conclusion based on an experiment, no further investigation is necessary.

A farmer growing potatoes notices aphids, a type of insect, feeding on the plants. An insecticide was sprayed on the plants several times over a two-year period. The graph represents samples of three different generations of insecticide-resistant and nonresistant aphids over this time period. ***The resistance gene was present in the aphid population as a result of

the need of the potatoes to become resistant to the insecticide

changes in the aphids’ local habitat by the insecticide

a recombination of the proteins in the potato cells

a random change in the aphids’ DNA sequence

A farmer growing potatoes notices aphids, a type of insect, feeding on the plants. An insecticide was sprayed on the plants several times over a two-year period. The graph represents samples of three different generations of insecticide-resistant and nonresistant aphids over this time period. ***In year three, the farmer discontinued the use of the insecticide. Which statement would best predict the population in generation 4?

The nonresistant aphid would become extinct

The nonresistant aphid would become extinct

The resistant aphid would mutate to a nonresistant aphid.

The plants would be free of insect populations.

A farmer growing potatoes notices aphids, a type of insect, feeding on the plants. An insecticide was sprayed on the plants several times over a two-year period. The graph represents samples of three different generations of insecticide-resistant and nonresistant aphids over this time period. ***One negative consequence of using an insecticide is that it

selects for insecticide-resistant organisms

keeps a balance of organic compounds

encourages biodiversity in plants

gives the nonresistant aphids a survival advantage
