Classify the following as either deductive or inductive reasoning.

  • 1. All flying birds and insects have wings. Birds and insects flap their wings as they move through the air. Therefore, wings enable flight.

  • 2. Insects generally survive mild winters better than harsh ones. Therefore, insect pests will become more problematic if global temperatures increase.

  • 3. Chromosomes, the carriers of DNA, separate into daughter cells during cell division. Therefore, DNA is the genetic material.

  • 4. Animals as diverse as humans, insects, and wolves all exhibit social behavior. Therefore, social behavior must have an evolutionary advantage Answer

  • inductive

  • deductive
