A Japanese scientist observes that lobster shells are softer when the animals are exposed to low pH in an aquarium. He asks his colleague in the United States to conduct the same experiment using the same aquarium equipment. Should he expect the results to be similar?
Yes, because American equipment should produce even more accurate measurements.
Yes, because the same experiment should yield the same results as long as the environmental conditions are the same.
No, because the altitude between the two labs can be different, which would impact shell growth.
No, because the two countries have different time zones, which would affect the sleep cycle of the lobsters.

The correct answer is B. Yes, because the same experiment should yield the same results as long as the environmental conditions are the same.

Explanation:

An experiment is a scientific and rigorous procedure that aims at proving or disproving a possible explanation or hypothesis. For an experiment to be effective it needs to be carried out multiple times under the same conditions as it is expected the same procedure and same conditions lead to the same results that prove or disprove a hypothesis.

This implies in the case of two scientists testing whether lobster shells change if these are exposed to low pH, it can be concluded as long as the conditions in the aquariums are the same it is expected the results are the same or similar and therefore the correct answer is "Yes, because the same experiment should yield the same results as long as the environmental conditions are the same".
