    role of scientific community
    heey
    Can someone please answer this question

    Describe the role of the scientific community in validating new evidence (including molecular biology, eg DNA, proteomics) supporting the accepted scientific theory of evolution (scientific journals, the peer review process, scientific conferences).

    How would you answer it??
    I'm so confused!!
    Thanks so much for your help

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Hello there! I think my answer would include the fact that scientists will work to validate the evidence by repeating experiments under the same conditions (to see if the results are reliable). Expert opinions could be used to gauge the quality of evidence through scientific conferences and peer review would allow the testing of the hypothesis and analysis of evidence by experts in the field before the research is made public through peer-reviewed scientific journals.

    Sorry, I can't be more specific, haven't learnt about molecular bio yet (: hope it helps!
