Scientific theories are explanations for scientific phenomena that can be changed when and if new information is found to support or refute the explanation. which of the following statements provides an example of a scientific theory? a. an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force. b. species evolve by passing on advantageous hereditary traits. c. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. d. in a closed system, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

The correct answer will be option B.

Explanation:

Scientific theories are unsubstantiated ideas and opinions which best explains about any natural phenomenon based on observation and experiments.

In the given question "Species evolve by passing on advantageous hereditary traits" can be considered as a scientific hypothesis because this statement gives the explanation of "How the species evolve ?" which based on the observations, other hypothesis and evidences has been verified multiple times.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.

a "theory" a suggestion that is not 100 % accurate, or a figure. some people say its a theory because they of all the passed theory's about one subject. it depends sometimes theory might be accurate and sometimes they are.
