Which of the following is the correct sequence in the biological method?

Correct answer: B. Observation?hypothesis?deduction?testing of deduction

  • A. Observation?hypothesis?law?theory
  • B. Observation?hypothesis?deduction?testing of deduction
  • C. Hypothesis?observation?deduction?testing of deduction
  • D. law?theory?deduction?observation

Explanation

The biological method normally proceeds from observation to a tentative hypothesis, then to deductions or predictions that are tested experimentally. A law or theory is not automatically the next step after every observation, so a is the likely error caused by memorising a simplified hierarchy instead of the testing sequence.
