Question

if a scientists theory is predicated on a colleagues experimental findings, which is true? the theory supports the colleagues findings the theory is based on the colleagues findings

Explanation:

The term "predicated on" means based on. So if a scientist's theory is predicated on a colleague's experimental findings, it means the theory is based on those findings. It doesn't imply the theory supports the findings; rather, the findings are the foundation for the theory.

Answer:

the theory is based on the colleague's findings
