A scientist conducted an investigation about the effects of diet on disease resistance in rats and made surprising observations. The mice with a genetic ear mutation seemed to show similar patterns of resistance compared to mice with normal ears. Based on this information, what will most likely occur?

-She will perform a second investigation on the role of certain genes in disease resistance.

-She will revise her hypothesis to pertain to mutations rather than diet, and update her data accordingly.

-She will use this information to determine that her original question was nonscientific, so she will revise it.

-She will determine that her hypothesis was invalid because resistance must be genetic.
