Answer 1

So, uh....i started this class completely confused. Someone help? ^^

Answer 2

There's a difference between a biologist and an anatomist. Which one do you think it is? Where are they talking about anatomy and not physiology or processes of specific cells, tissues, organs or whatever?

Answer 3

Well, if i were to choose, i'd say that teh first one seems to be talking about only Biology content.

Answer 4

Yes, but like I said, they all talk about science so that's not a good way to choose.
The first one talks about understanding DNA repair mechanisms. There is no anatomy mentioned whatsoever

Answer 5

Therefore, it wouldn't be an observation made by an anatomist.

Answer 6

So there is only one that would be?

Answer 7

That is what the question is asking.

Answer 8

So it would be either the last two ones....

Answer 9

I'd say the last one would be something an anatomist would observe.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Good job. That is correct. The other options are more physiology/biology/neuro

Answer 12

All righty. Thanks.

Answer 13
