In 1971, a physicist named Gabor received the Nobel Prize for developing the basic ideas of holography, a method of producing a three-dimensional image of an object. His work marked a major advance in laser technology and occurred without much previous work in this area. Based on this information, which statement is most likely true of Gabor?
What field of work has been most impacted as DNA technology has improved?
Hybrid seeds are deliberately crossbred for particular traits, such as growth pattern or disease resistance. They have been hand-pollinated and are patented, often sterile, and genetically identical within food types. These plants are usually grown in a monocultural environment and are cultivated for mass production and sale. They must be sturdy to withstand mechanical picking and cross-country shipping. They do not compare to the quality and taste of heirloom plants, but they do produce large, healthy fruit that appeals to most shoppers. Unlike heirloom seeds, if one saves a hybrid seed, one will not get the same plant again. Which statement can be removed and not affect the excerpt’s reliability?
A recent encyclopedia entry about dogs cites multiple research papers done by scientists at veterinary schools. According to the article, Labrador retrievers come in two specific breeds: English and American. The English breed is described as stocky and heavy, while the American breed is described as tall and lanky. The article describes current scientific research as showing that males of both breeds usually weigh about 29-41 kg (65-90 lb), and females weigh 25-32 kg (55-70 lb). Coat colors for both breeds come in solid black, yellow, or chocolate. All labs have strong tails and webbed feet, which help them swim. Devon would like to use this information to determine if his new dog is an English or American Labrador retriever. Which best describes the reliability of the information?
In double-blind studies neither the test subject or the researcher knows who was given the drug and who was given the control. Why are these studies effective for testing a drug that may elevate mood and relieve feelings of depression?
