Question

Which of the following is an example of a scientific theory? . Select one:. a. Scientists use three mathematical laws to predict the movement of planets in the solar system.. b. Scientists observe the effect of climate changes on plants and primary producers living in the ocean.. c. Scientists use the relationship between the DNA of various species to estimate how long ago they diverged evolutionarily from each other.. d. Scientists agree that there is an amount of attraction between any two objects, called gravity, and can describe the attraction in mathematical terms.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D. The statement that is an example of a scientific theory is this: "Scientists agree that there is an amount of attraction between any two objects, called gravity, and can describe the attraction in mathematical terms."

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

D) Scientists agree that there is an amount of attraction between any two objects, called gravity, and can describe the attraction in mathematical terms.

The explanation:

-A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested, in accordance with the scientific method, using a predefined protocol of observation and experiment.

-theory can imply that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess, the opposite of its meaning in science.

-Observation is part of the scientific method, but not the theory. and Experimentation is part of the scientific method, but not the theory.

So, the correct answer is D
