The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i. e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?

Tara sees a commercial for a brand of pills that promise to boost energy and people perform better in work and school. as people in the commercial talk about how much better they feel when taking the pill, tara notices a message on the bottom of the screen that reads, "this pill is not approved by doctors and has not been tested in controlled experiments." what is the best conclusion that tara should make about the commercial? it is making scientific claims based on subjective observations. it is making scientific claims based on opinions instead of pseudoscientific facts. it is making pseudoscientific claims based on objective observations. it is making pseudoscientific claims based on opinions instead of scientific facts.
