Accepted Answer

Repetition involves a single scientist conducting the same experiment multiple times to ensure accuracy in results.

Answer

Repetition involves only observing other experiments.

Answer

Repetition is the process of changing variables in an experiment.

Answer

Repetition means asking other scientists to repeat the experiment.

Question 33

What is the significance of conducting both repetition and replication in scientific research?

Accepted Answer

Conducting both ensures that findings are trustworthy and reduces the likelihood of errors affecting the results.

Answer

They are primarily used to gather more data without any specific purpose.

Answer

They serve to complicate the process without adding value.

Question 34

How does repetition contribute to the scientific method?

Accepted Answer

Repetition helps identify and eliminate errors, making results more reliable by confirming that they can be consistently reproduced.

Answer

Repetition creates new hypotheses based on existing data.

Answer

Repetition prevents scientists from changing their experimental designs.

Answer

Repetition is focused only on how many experiments are conducted.

Question 35
