Deadpool has four hole-in-the-wall restaurants that he likes to visit for chimichangas. He's trying to determine which restaurant is the least upsetting to his sensitive stomach. He sets up an experiment to eat at each restaurant five times each to ensure he receives accurate results.
What is Deadpool doing to check his accuracy, replication or repetition?
Repetition, since he is repeating his own experiment.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacterial species found in the intestines of humans. This specific type of helpful bacteria is known to produce a very acidic environment, which kills members of other dangerous bacteria populations. By living in the human intestines, L. acidophilus gets a steady supply of sugar to feed upon.
What type of relationship is this?
Mutualism

Psychology research students at UNF have a hypothesis that teens who post #TBH and "follow and rate" type comments are the most likely suspects to do the latest hashtag challenge on Instagram.
To test this hypothesis, 1. What would be the tested (independent) variable in the experiment? 2. What would be the outcome (dependent) variable in the experiment?
1. Tested Variable = The number of #TBH and "follow and rate" type comments seen from different users
2. Outcome Variable = Whether or not the teen performed the latest challenge.

In terms of natural selection, scientists are able to simplify the equation for survival down to two variables: genetic variation in the population, and how much the environment is changing.
How much variation should the population have in order to give it the best chance at adapting to environmental factors?
Answer with "more is better" or "less is better"
More variation gives more possibilities for species to grow solutions to environmental problems.

You and your friends are interested to see if racial differences in skin color affect whether or not Snapchat filters work accurately. You run your experiment, and present your results to your peers. Others take your ideas and experiments and do them themselves to see if they get the same results. What are your peers doing, repetition or replication?
They are replicating the experiment you originally did.

A windfarm is creating energy for this town.
Using the following energy types, tell me what THREE energy types are occurring in these spinning fans? (don't count the sound and thermal energy made as waste products)
Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Mechanical Energy, Thermal Energy, Sound Energy, Electrical Energy, Chemical Energy, Light Energy
Kinetic Energy (Wind) --> Mechanical Energy (Fans) --> Electrical Energy (Power).
More than likely some Sound Energy and Thermal Energy is being produced as a side product.

Some students are rallying around the cause of changing lunchroom food. They suspect that the pizza crust is made of recycled cardboard, and so they design an experiment. Small samples of thirty different slices of pizza are collected and checked to see if flour or cardboard makes up the crust.
What is the tested (independent) variable and the outcome (dependent) variable in this experiment?
Tested Variable = thirty samples of pizza
Outcome Variable = is it flour or cardboard
