Which one of the following is a correct sequence in biological methods?
Correct answer: B. Observations - Hypothesis - Deduction - Experimentation
- A. Observations - Hypothesis - Law - Theory
- B. Observations - Hypothesis - Deduction - Experimentation
- C. Hypothesis - Observations - Deduction - Experimentation
- D. Law - Theory - Deduction - Observations
Explanation
The correct sequence in the scientific method is observation, hypothesis, deduction, and experimentation. You start by observing phenomena, then propose a hypothesis to explain them. Next, you deduce predictions that can be tested, and finally, you perform experiments to see if the predictions hold true. Other options are incorrect because they either place steps out of order or include terms like 'law' and 'theory,' which are not steps in the scientific method but rather results that can emerge from it.
