An organism was kept at a temperature of 40°C for a period of 2 weeks. At the end of that time, the investigator determined that the organism was sterile. To support the hypothesis that high temperatures cause sterility, the investigator should be able to show that the

1. organism was not sterile before the experiment period began.
2. high temperature did not alter the blood pressure of the organism
3. pituitary gland of the organism had not degenerated.
4. organism was homozygous for temperature sensitivity.​



Answer :

The investigator should show that the organism was not sterile before the experiment began. So the correct option is A.

What is a scientific hypothesis?

A scientific hypothesis is a theory that offers a speculative explanation for a phenomenon or a specific group of related events that have been observed in the natural world. The capacity to be supported or disproven by observation and experimentation are the two main characteristics of a scientific hypothesis, and they are embodied in an "If...then" statement that summarises the notion. In the middle of the 20th century, British philosopher Karl Popper, who was of Austrian descent, established the idea that a scientific theory might be both falsified and tested.

The scientific method, the strategy used by scientists to try to comprehend and evaluate theories regarding natural events, includes the formation and testing of hypotheses. The process of developing a hypothesis is commonly referred to as creative and is based on prior scientific understanding, intuition, or experience.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
