Torri and Tamara are both performing scientific investigations on the learning capabilities of mice. In Torri's experiment, she sets up two knobs in a cage with a mouse. When the mouse touches the knob on the left, it receives a small shock. When it touches the knob on the right, it receives a food reward. After several attempts, the mouse learns to only touch the knob on the right. Torri concludes that mice are capable of learning.

In Tamara's experiment, she also sets up two knobs in a cage with a mouse. She constantly alternates which knob causes the mouse to get shocked, and which knob gives the mouse a food reward. The mouse does not ever learn to reliably touch one knob or the other. Tamara concludes that mice are incapable of learning.

Which of the following is true about the evidence gathered in Torri and Tamara's experiments?
A.
The evidence gathered in Torri's experiment is not valid because she did not alternate the consequence of touching the knobs.
B.
The evidence gathered in Torri's experiment is of higher quality and strength because her experiment was better designed.
C.
The evidence gathered in Tamara's experiment is of higher quality and strength because her experiment was better designed.
D.
The evidence gathered in Tamara's experiment proves that mice are unable to learn and no further investigation is needed.

The accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. the accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. chimpanzees and gibbons are the most closely related the chimpanzee's closest surviving relative is humans orangutans are the primates least closely related to chimpanzees old world monkeys and gibbons are the most closely related
