Explanation of Solution

Scientist has to follow the scientific methods step-by-step. The methods followed by the scientist are- observe, make a hypothesis, perform the experiment, collect data, and analyze results. The first two methods i.e. 'observe' and 'make a hypothesis' are often omitted by the scientists.

Scientists have to follow the same scientific methods. Biologists work in different places to answer their questions. For example, some biologists work in laboratories, may be developing new medicines, whereas others can be work at outdoors in natural settings. No matter where the biologists work, they all have to use similar methods to collect information and to answer questions. These methods are referred as scientific methods.

Conclusion

Thus, scientists have to follow the same scientific methods step-by-step so that everyone can gather information and answer to the questions.
