SOLVING A
BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM
![Page 4: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The scientific method in
which biological problems are solved, is known as biological method.
Biological method has played an important role in scientific research for almost 500 years
BIOLOGICAL METHOD
![Page 5: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The first step in biological method is to know that
what is the problem. Recognition of biological problem is the basic step.
1.RECOGNITION OF BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM
![Page 6: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IT IS MADE BY OUR FIVE SENSES (VISION, HEARING, SMELL, TASTE AND TOUCH).
OBSERVATIONSThe process of gathering information about events or processes in a careful orderly way.
![Page 7: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
OBSERVATIONS
The information gathered from observations is called data.
There are two main categories of data: Quantitative and Qualitative.
Quantitative data are expressed as numbers, obtained by counting or measuring. Ex. “the boiling point of water is 100 C
Qualitative data are descriptive and involve characteristics that can’t usually be counted. Ex. “The boiling point of water is hot.

It should be a
general statement
It should be a tentative idea
It should be kept as simple as possible.
FORMULATION OF HYPOTHESIS
A suggested solution to the problem.
Must be testable Sometimes written as
If…Then… statements
A hypothesis is a proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations.
![Page 9: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In the next step, biologists draw deductions from hypothesis. Deductions are the logical consequences of hypothesis. For this purpose a hypothesis is taken as true and expected results.
Generally if a hypothesis is true then one should expect deductions
DEDUCTIONS
![Page 10: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The most basic step of
biological method is experimentation. Biologist perform experiment to see either the hypothesis is correct or not.
Through experiment scientists come to know that which hypothesis is correct.
The correct hypothesis is accepted and other are rejected
EXPERIMENT
![Page 11: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SUMMARIZATION OF RESULTS
In the next step, Biologist gets quantitative data from experiments. Scientists then have to summarize the data they got, then they make the results
![Page 12: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In the next step, the summarized results are
reported to the international laboratories. Publishing of results is an essential part of
scientific method
REPORTING THE RESULTS
![Page 13: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In the next step, when the reporting results
are taken right it become theory. The hypothesis that stand the test of time
(often tested never rejected), are called theories.
If a theory continues to be supported by experimental evidence, it becomes a law or principle
THEORY AND LAW
![Page 14: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Taking an example of rabies disease.
TAKING AN EXAMPLE
![Page 15: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rabies is a viral disease caused by rabdo virus. Often spread by the bite of dog or monkey. The saliva of dog contains the virus which enters in RBC’S when a dog bite a human.
RABIES
The rabies virus infects the central nervous system, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death
![Page 16: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
First of all, scientists think the rabies
disease, its cause, its symptoms etc.
Then they ask a question that what is the cause of rabies, what are its symptoms.
RECOGNITON OF BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM
![Page 17: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Then the observations are made:
The rabies is caused by virus The rabies is caused by the bite of dog The vaccinations are effective for treating rabies. Rabdo virus is seen in the blood of rabies patients
OBSERVATIONS
![Page 18: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
From the observations scientists make the
hypothesis: The hypothesis in this case is:
“RABDO VIRUS IS CAUSE OF RABIES”
HYPOTHESIS
![Page 19: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Scientists does not know that whether the hypothesis is correct or not, but they accepts it may be true and make deductions. One of the deduction from the above hypothesis is:
“if rabdo virus is cause of rabies then all person ill with rabies should have rabdo virus in their blood”
deductions
![Page 20: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The next step is to test
the deduction through experiments which were designed as;
Blood of 100 rabies patient will be examined under microscope. For the purpose of having control group, the blood of 100 healthy persons will also be examined under microscope.
experimentation
![Page 21: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The results of experiments showed that
almost all rabies patient has rabdo virus in their blood, while all the healthy persons have not rabdo virus in their blood.
The results proved that the hypothesis “rabdo virus is cause of rabies” is true.
Then the scientists will summarize the results.
SUMMARIZING OF RESULTS
![Page 22: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
After summarizing the results of rabies the scientist will report the results to the international laboratories.
REPORTING THE RESULTS
![Page 23: solving a biological problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ef7c3f1a28ab64078b458b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The last step, when the hypothesis, “rabdo
virus is cause of rabies” is tested many times and never rejected it will be a theory.
And after a time theory will be changed into law or principle.
