Question

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. pollards research? other scientists will repeat her analysis and this may lead to changes in theories. 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.

Explanation:

Dr. Pollard is a biostatistical researcher. When new methods are used in research, it is common for other scientists to repeat the analysis. This repetition helps in validating results and may lead to changes in theories if the initial findings are not consistent. The laws of segregation and independent assortment are well - established genetic principles and are less likely to change easily just due to one study's new method. Hypotheses are often adjusted to fit new data, but it is more likely that other scientists will repeat her analysis first to check the reliability of the new findings.

Answer:

Other scientists will repeat her analysis and this may lead to changes in theories.
