Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on it, divided by its mass. This law can be
summarized by the equation F= mx a.
Why is this a law and not a theory?
A. Newton's statement involves mathematics. A theory is a
description based on observations.
B. Newton's statement has been proved with scientific evidence. A
theory can change when new evidence is found that does not
support the theory
C. Newton's statement is supported by research. A theory iş only an
educated guess.

D. Newton's statement describes the relationship between mass,
acceleration, and force. A law is an explanation of natural events.

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive

some scientists like gregory adcock agree with thorne's theory of regional continuity.

others, like chris stringer and ian tattersall, believe thorne's results may be contaminated or misinterpreted.

it is because according to the process , scientific inquiry is a process with many steps because each step occurs to the scientist and if you just skip a step there would be no steps to scientific inquiry.

i guess because there isn't enough love going around. < 3
