Which statement is true about the scientific method A: it follows one prescribed sequence of steps

B: it begins and ends up with an experiment

C: it is used only in earth and space science

D: it can be cyclic

A

Explanation:

The steps:

1. Question

2. Research

3. Hypothesis

4. Experiment

5. Result (was your hypothesis correct)

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).
