Explain Why Dr. Trudeau Called Experiments

1. Write a narration of the figure describing the results of the experiment. Explain why the rabbits are emaciated in groups 1 and 2. (Please note: What Dr. Trudeau called Experiments 1, 2, and 3 are more like what modern scientists would call treatment groups 1, 2, and 3, and that terminology is used in Figure 1.
• Based on Figure 1 survival graph, the rabbit in treatment group 1 which was artificially infected, and placed in a controlled environment is thin. Also, on the third month of the experiment, there is only one rabbit left out of the five rabbits in this group. Similarly, the five rabbits in treatment group 2 which was not infected, but placed in a controlled environment are thin as well. In addition, all survived after the four months of being in the environmental conditions with which they were confined. On the other hand, the rabbits in treatment group 3 which was artificially infected, but let loose in a small island are fat and healthy looking. However, on the first month of the experiment one rabbit pass out of existence in spite of the healthy surroundings they inhabited. …show more content…
The rabbits in these two groups were devoid from its natural habitat with which enabled them to get light, fresh air, exercise, and an abundant food supply. Moreover, based on a close analysis of the treatment group 2 reactions, the poor environmental factors resulted in a malnourished look for both groups. However, it was fatal for group 1 due to the factor that they were also artificially infected of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb), which resulted in the demise of the four rabbits in this
