A

SYSTEMS BIOLOGY

21
Q

is an objective, logical and
repeatable attempt to understand the
principles and forces operating in the
natural world

A

Science

22
Q
  • It relies mainly on verifiable observations
    and measurements.
  • Describes life.
  • Happens before a particular question is
    asked.
A

DISCOVERY-BASED SCIENCE

23
Q
  • It involves the use of scientific method, which
    is used as a guide by scientist (particularly
    biologists) in solving problems.
  • Hypothesis is based on previous
    knowledge.
A

HYPOTHESIS-BASED SCIENCE

24
Q

is a series of processes
that people can use to gather knowledge
about the world around them, improve that
knowledge, and attempt to explain why and/or
how things occur.

A

scientific method

25
Q

Identifying and clearly defining the problem.

A

OBSERVATION

26
Q

formulating a possible logical answer to the identified problem

A

HYPOTHESIS

27
Q

this form of reasoning
allows the biologist to formulate tentative hypothesis
that can later be tested before coming up with a
general conclusion

A

Inductive Reasoning

28
Q

this form of reasoning is
used by biologists to test existing theories or
hypothesis

A

Deductive Reasoning

29
Q

conducting controlled attempts to test one or more hypotheses and includes recording
and analyzing results

A

EXPERIMENT

30
Q

formulating generalization about the results that may accept, reject or modify the
hypothesis

A

CONCLUSION

31
Q

Cell is the basic unit of life. All organisms are composed of
cells. All cells come from pre-existing cells.

A

Cell Theory

32
Q

Inherited information dictates the structure, function, and
behavior of organisms.

A

Gene Theory

33
Q

Organisms posses inherited traits that may make them
adaptable to changing conditions in the environment

A

Theory of evolution by
natural selection
