Dr. Katherine Pollard, a biostatistical researcher, recently changed the method that she used to compare human and chimpanzee DNA. Her research showed that the differences between the two species’ DNA are in segments called switches, which turn certain genes on or off. What is the most likely outcome of Dr. Pollard’s research?
Theories that describe the relationship between humans and chimps will change.
The laws of segregation and independent assortment will change.
Dr. Pollard will change experimental methods and repeat the study.
The hypothesis will be rewritten to match the outcome of the study.
