1.7 Evolution In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, 1. Species living today descended from ancestral species descent with modification. 2. Natural selection is a mechanism for evolution.

THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE
Objectives: You will Identify common themes in the organization of biology Distinguish evolutionary theory as the core of all adaptations Understand and incorporate the scientific method Incorporate biology into everyday aspects of life
1.8 Scientists make observations and form and test hypotheses Science is a way of knowing. Science is based upon inquiry,
1.8 1. Qualitative data is descriptive. 2. Quantitative data includes numerical measurements.
1.8 1. Inductive reasoning makes generalizations from many observations. 2. Deductive reasoning flows from general premises to specific results.
You should now be able to 6. Distinguish between quantitative and qualitative data. 7. Compare the definitions and use of inductive and deductive reasoning in scientific investigations. 8. Distinguish between a scientific theory and a hypothesis.
1.8 Hypotheses. A testable explanation for a set of observations
1.8 A scientific theory is the accepted explanation of a scientific phenomenon Name some scientific theories:
Interpreting Data: Background Information Living organisms may vary in their skin or coat color depending on where they occur. In the experiment shown below, mice living in beach populations have lighter colored coats and live in sparsely-vegetated dunes. Inland mice, in contrast, live in areas with darker soil and denser vegetation and also are darker in color. Researchers used plastic models of mice painted in both dark and light colors placed in both environments to test the hypothesis that if camouflage coloration protects mice from predators, then mice with coloration that did not match their habitat would be preyed upon more heavily than native mice that were well matched for their habitat.
1.9 SCIENTIFIC THINKING: Hypotheses using controlled field studies What is the Hypothesis? Control Variable? Manipulated Variable?
Table 1.9
Interpreting Data In the mouse experiment, both dark and light colored mouse models were placed in each of the two environments (beach and inland) and predation was measured on camouflaged and noncamouflaged mice. In this experiment, what serves as the control(s)? a) The white mice in beach populations b) The white mice in inland populations c) The dark mice in inland populations d) Both a and c e) Both b and c
Answer In this experiment, both dark and light colored mouse models were placed in each of the two environments (beach and inland) and predation was measured on camouflaged and non-camouflaged mice. In this experiment, what serves as the control(s)?hite mice in beach populations c) Both a and c a) Both a and c b) Both b and c
Interpreting Data The results of the experiment are shown in the table to the right. For this experiment, in the beach habitat, what are the non-camouflaged models? a) Dark-colored mice on the beach b) Dark-colored mice in inland habitats c) Light colored mice on the beach d) Light colored mice in inland habitats
Answer The results of the experiment are shown in the table to the right. For this experiment, in the beach habitat, what are the non-camouflaged models? a) Dark-colored mice on the beach d) Light colored mice in inland habitats

Biology and Society For some, religion and science seem to be at odds. Others feel that religion and science are two powerful but separate ways of human understanding. Most importantly these people do not feel that science and religion are in conflict. Do you think that an individual can hold devout religious beliefs, while at the same time support scientific understanding? Strongly A B C D E Strongly Disagree Agree
