Question

Which should a scientist conclude about data that are inconsistent with the current, scientific understanding of amphibian reproduction?

Question 6 options:

A new idea or theory should be devised to fit the new data.

Inconsistencies in the data warrant further investigation.

The data are flawed and should be discarded or ignored.

The data reflect the flaws in the current, scientific ideas.

Answer 1

The Inconsistencies of the data are led to further investigations conclude about data that are inconsistent with the current, scientific understanding of amphibian reproduction

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Class amphibia is one of the classes under the phylum chordata. This class has typical reproductive features. They are the animals that can live in both land and water, and a few are exclusively aquatic. But they essentially need water for the fertilization process. This is because they generally undergo external fertilization and the females lay eggs beside the water body. The males eject the sperms in water which swim through the water into the eggs and fertilize them.

This is the days old theory regarding the amphibia fertilization. But if some new theory comes up someday, that readily don't exclude this theory. The new theory has to pass through several tests and various further investigations where it's seen if the new theory explains most of the amphibia reproduction or not. Then it can be approved along side with the old theory.
