Why is the scientific method bad? - Answer-It is oversimplified, it implies that an experiment can answer a research question. Science isn't linear. It implies science is an independent effort, no creativity or imagination, and it ignores technology and society What is a theory? - Answer-Theories are broad explanations. They are supported by lines o evidence, with no contradictory evidence. Therefore the evolutionary theory isn't just a "theory" Why don't community analysis and feedbac...

1. Explain the structure of a typical viral particle - Answer-Contains nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA, and a protein coat or capsid made of protein 2. Explain how a virus infects a cell - Answer-Steps 1-5 a. Virus becomes attached to target epithelial cell b. The cell engulfs the virus by endocytosis c. Viral contents are released. Viral RNA enters the nucleus where it is replicated by the viral RNA polymerase. d. Viral MRNA is used to make viral proteins e. New viral particles are made...

Why is the scientific method a myth? - Answer--oversimplified -implies science is an independent effort -science isn't linear -forgets creativity, technology and society How Science Really Works - Answer--testing ideas -exploration & discovery -community analysis & feedback -benefits & outcomes Testing Ideas - Answer-Gather Data - hypothesis, expected results, actual results Interpret Data - data may support hypothesis, oppose hypothesis, inspire new hypothesis -heart of the scientifi...

explain the structure of a typical viral particle - Answer-all contain DNA or RNA, surrounded by capris made of protein explain how a virus infects a cell - Answer-get nuclear acid inside host (attach & engulf), "stinger" and injects. explain why a virus is not considered "alive" - Answer-acellular, not bacteria, can't reproduce and divide on our own!!! NEED host cell Identify different types of innate immunity - Answer-first line of defense, physical barrier (skin, nose, etc). immun...

Describe DNA structure - DNA forms a double stranded helix and adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine What pair forms hydrogen bonds and how many - thymine/adenine form 2 bonds guanine/cytosine form 3 bonds Explain "the central dogma" - DNA turning into RNA turning into Protein What is transcription - Copying of DNA code to RNA, one nucleotide at a time so it is complementary to the DNA What is translation - RNA gets translated into protein Universal genetic code r...

What is the order of the scientific method myth - 1. Observe 2. Question (prediction & hypothesis) 3. Experiment (independent variable, dependent variable, control, data) 4. Evaluate hypothesis 5. Draw conclusions Good and bad about the scientific method myth - good- scientists test ideas with evidence bad- oversimplified, implies one experiment can answer a research question, not linear, implies science is an independent effort, no creativity/imagination, ignores technology and society ...
