HYPOTHESIS
Once there is a specific critical question, then a hypothesis must be developed. Hypotheses are tentative answers to the scientific questions.

Can you think of some hypotheses that would be appropriate for the selected question?

Some possible hypotheses include:

The color of the shrimp is not related to the color of the algae.
Shrimp color is derived from the color of the algae.
The color of the algae is derived from the color of the shrimp.

For every critical question there are a vast number of hypotheses (tentative answers). For this tutorial, we have selected the hypothesis:

Shrimp color is derived from the color of the algae.
