When the degree distribution is plotted on logarithmic axes, an approximately straight line indicates a power-law relationship between degree and frequency. The video uses this visual pattern as evidence for scale-free structure.
Conditions: The horizontal and vertical axes are both logarithmic.; The empirical points lie approximately along a straight line.

Almost all biological networks are subject to study bias, meaning that nodes which are studied more extensively will have more known interactions. Consequently, degree centrality may reflect how well-studied a protein is, rather than its true biological significance.
Conditions: Applies to biological networks subject to study bias.; The network is a biological network, such as a protein interaction network.
