Randy is studying the migratory behavior of northern right whales. He wants to develop a scientific description for the location of male northern right whales during the winter. Randy hypothesizes that the males follow the females from their shared autumn habitat near the coast of Canada to the waters near the coast of Florida, where the females are known to give birth in the winter. After following a group of female northern right whales through the winter and spotting zero male northern right whales accompanying them, Randy determines that his hypothesis is incorrect. To continue his study, what should Randy do next? A. accept the theory that male northern right whales migrate to waters near the coast of Iceland in the winter months B. propose a new hypothesis explaining the whereabouts of the male northern right whales during the winter C. accept the theory that male northern right whales follow groups of female whales during the winter months D. assume that his observations were inaccurate and male northern right whales must still follow groups of females during the winter

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
