Question

1. (01.01 mc) scientists used trawling with nets to estimate the biomass of fish at different depths of the ocean. new evidence showed that some fish were able to avoid the nets, so the biomass estimates were inaccurate. when new evidence is discovered, what must scientists do next, and why? (2 points) they must throw out the old scientific ideas and disregard the prior evidence, because valid scientific theories would not be able to be disproven. they must adjust the scientific ideas to account for all of the known evidence. this process makes the scientific knowledge weaker. they must throw out the old scientific ideas and disregard the prior evidence, because scientific knowledge should only consider the most recent findings. they must adjust the scientific ideas to account for all of the known evidence. this process makes scientific knowledge even more durable.

Explanation:

Scientific knowledge evolves. New evidence should be incorporated into existing scientific ideas to make knowledge more durable. Ignoring prior evidence or discarding old - ideas completely is not the correct approach. Scientists need to adjust their ideas to account for all known evidence, new and old, to build more robust scientific knowledge.

Answer:

They must adjust the scientific ideas to account for all of the known evidence. This process makes scientific knowledge even more durable.
