SYSTEMS BIOLOGY

21
Q

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

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
Identifying and clearly defining the problem.
OBSERVATION
26
formulating a possible logical answer to the identified problem
HYPOTHESIS
27
this form of reasoning allows the biologist to formulate tentative hypothesis that can later be tested before coming up with a general conclusion
Inductive Reasoning
28
this form of reasoning is used by biologists to test existing theories or hypothesis
Deductive Reasoning
29
conducting controlled attempts to test one or more hypotheses and includes recording and analyzing results
EXPERIMENT
30
formulating generalization about the results that may accept, reject or modify the hypothesis
CONCLUSION
31
Cell is the basic unit of life. All organisms are composed of cells. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
Cell Theory
32
Inherited information dictates the structure, function, and behavior of organisms.
Gene Theory
33
Organisms posses inherited traits that may make them adaptable to changing conditions in the environment
Theory of evolution by natural selection
