- ANSWER-None of the above
- A double-blind study is one in which neither the participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment. This procedure is utilized to prevent bias in research results. Double-blind studies are particularly useful for preventing bias due to demand characteristics or the placebo effect.
- Counterbalancing is a type of experimental design in which all possible orders of presenting the variables are included.
- For example, if you have two groups of participants (group 1 and group 2) and two levels of an independent variable (level 1 and level 2), you would present one possible order (group 1 gets level 1 while group 2 gets level 2) first and then present the opposite order (group 1 gets level 2 while group 2 gets level 1). This way you can measure the effects in all possible situations.

QUESTION 1 When transforming bacterial cells, a researcher is interested in generating bacteria that exogenously express the gene that encodes GFP (green fluorescent protein). After transformation, she finds that no bacteria colonies grew on her selective media. Which of the following best explains the results of her transformation protocol? The concentration of the antibiotics in the selection media was too low, therefore no bacteria grew. Her bacterial cells were not competent so they took up excessive amounts of...
