investigation or trying to reconstruct a past crime scene. Outside resources such as forensic scientists, computer technicians or anthropologist could be used in order to validate evidence collected.

2. How does Kuhn 's view differ from Popper 's view of science? Kuhn 's view differs from Popper 's view of science in the way of scientific method. Popper sets a very high standard for scientific method by the principle of demarcation and criticism. According to Popper, any theory can be proven false through empirical evidence or experimental data but cannot be proven true.

During this lab, Sfr13 mutant and wild type Tetrahymena’s number of India Ink vacuoles and sizes were observed over multiple trials, and then the averages were compared to see if there was any difference between the mutant and WT. Furthermore, the two strains of Tetrahymena were stained with mCherry fluorescence, so that the oral grooves could be examined and compared under fluorescence microscopy. This experiment was designed to eliminate as much bias as possible by replicating the experiment…
