A Japanese scientist observes that lobster shells are softer when the animals are exposed to low pH in an aquarium. He asks his colleague in the United States to conduct the same experiment using the same aquarium equipment. Should he expect the results to be similar?

Yes, because American equipment should produce even more accurate measurements.

Yes, because the same experiment should yield the same results as long as the environmental conditions are the same.

No, because the altitude between the two labs can be different, which would impact shell growth.

No, because the two countries have different time zones, which would affect the sleep cycle of the lobsters.
