What is Science?
• A way of knowing
• Based on repeatability
• Based on coming up with the most plausible answer from a suite of possible answers.
• A process of going from singular propositions to general propositions.

Important concept.
• How many ways can two things be identical?
• How many ways can two things be different?

The Process of Science
• Observation – • Question – (Induction)• Logic – if ... then... (Deduction)• Hypothesis – H
0 (no difference between observed and
expected) and H1 (observed and expected are different)
• Experiment – • Result – reject or accept hypothesis• alternative hypotheses
• Remember proof in science is impossible

Where does the genetic information reside?

• karyotype
-DNA discovered in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher, a German Chemist. Extracted from the nucleus. -Walther Flemming described the chromosomes in 1882
Discovery of chromosomes and DNA
But this is not evidence that genes are on chromosomes?

Observations:Do both parents contribute equally to
offspring?• What can we observe?
– Casual observations—children often resemble parents, sometimes their mother, other times their father
– Controlled crosses—when the same cross is set up twice, switching the sex of the parent, the results are the same.

What is in a typical egg? What is in a typical sperm?
• Eggs
• Sperm
• genetic information -> CHROMOSOMES

The Science behind the discovery that the genetic material resides in the chromosomes
• Observation – offspring inherit traits from their parents.• Question – where does the information reside
responsible for traits?• Observation - the nucleus appears to be important.• Logic – if we remove the nucleus from a cell it will not
divide and grow• Hypothesis – the nucleus contains the hereditary
information• Null Hypothesis – Removal of the nucleus from a cell
will not affect development• Experiment – remove or kill nucleus • Result – cell does not develop – reject null hypothesis.
