What is the best method to increase the accuracy of the parallax measurement of star distances?


keep a record of the observations and do not repeat them

take observations simultaneously with different instruments

keep a gap of about six months between two observations

take observations from two points which are very close to each other

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Parallax method is used to measure the distance of nearby objects in space or measurement of star distances. Parallax method uses the measurement of  movement of star's against starts at far points as Earth revolves around the sun.

To improve the accurate measurement of star distances through parallax method, a gap of about six months between two observations.

In the parallax measurement, two angles are measured and it includes Earth on one side of its orbit, Earth six months later on the other side of its orbit and side of a triangle formed by the star. This six month gap ensures that measurement of stars is taken from two farthest points which gives a large arc length.

As parallax is based on geometry so, it ensure that the large arc length will reduce the error in the measurement of the angle and the distance will be accurate.

Hence, the correct answer is  C.

In a population of spiders there are three different sizes: small, medium, and large. ---The large spiders are easily seen by predators. ---Small spiders have a difficult time finding food. What will most likely happen to this population of spiders after many generations?

Answers

Answer: Over time the medium spiders will be most common out of the three.

Explanation: Because of natural selection the large and small spiders wil die leaving more medium spiders alive. So now the medium spiders can reproduce and make more medium spiders so there will be much more medium spiders compared the the small and large ones.

Soil at the shore of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania has a high sand and gravel content. Which of the following is a characteristic of this type of soil?
A) extreme acidity
B) rapid water drainage
C) extensive producer biomass
D) significant depth before hitting bedrock

Answers

Answer:

rapid water drainage

Explanation:

These are  example of granular (sand and gravel)soils.They are more permeable to water, and therefore can not retain water molecules.They are non-cohesive soil,with high strength and capacity to withstand slope.

High acidity is not a characteristic feature of soil with sand and gravel.In addition, such soil lacks biomass therefore can not support plant growth. The soil type is not a yardstick to determine the dept of soil type.Consequently, rapid water loss due to porosity is the best option.

I require assistance. Oil is a fossil fuel used to run cars, heat up homes, and produce electricity. Oil can be removed from the bottom of the ocean through drilling. Drilling machines dig deep down into the Earth. When oil is found, pipes carry it to the surface. Sometimes, accidents happen that cause the oil to spill into the oceans. The oil can not only kill marine organisms, but when it reaches the surface of the water, some chemicals evaporate, become part of the atmosphere, and pollute the air.

Based on the passage, which resources and organisms are affected by oil spills? Select three options.

A. air
B. land
C. water
D. birds in the air

Many resources are affected by oil spills like air water land and the organisms in water are also affected.

What is an oil spill?

When a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon is discharged into the environment, particularly the marine environment due to human activities, it is known as an oil spill.

What resources are affected by the oil spill?Water: It forms a layer over the water. It causes the death of marine organisms. It releases toxic components.Air: petroleum is made up of many components. Some are light and toxic like benzene, xylene, toluene and ethylbenzene. These are released into the air and pollute itLand: When spilled on land it prevents the absorption of water in the soil and hence affects the flora.What organisms are affected by the spill?Marine organisms are affected by the oil spill. It has a toxic and lethal effect on organisms.The insulating ability of fur-bearing mammals is affected.livers become large and the rate of respiration changes.the fin of fishes are eroded.reproduction is also adversely affected.

Sunlight enables plants to use water and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to make and store sugar. Any animal that eats the plants can convert the sugar into the energy it needs to move from place to place. Which three types of energy are involved in this example?

Answers

Answer:

Solar energy, Chemical energy and Mechanical energy

Explanation:

Sunlight enables plants to use water and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to make and store sugar:

The type of energy utilized here is solar energy. The energy from sunlight which is the solar energy is captured by the chlorophyll in plants enabling them use water and carbon dioxide to produce their own food.

Any animal that eats the plants can convert the sugar into the energy it needs to move from place to place.

The energy from the sun which is the solar energy is converted into chemical energy, and the animal that eats this plants gains some of this energy and converts it to mechanical energy, the energy needed to do work: motion energy e.g. moving from place to place.

Answer:

Light energy from sun

Chemical energy

Kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Light energy is gotten from sunlight which is use with carbondioxide and water to produce sugars.

The chemical energy is the substance that undergo chemical reaction to produce another substance. The light energy cause a chemical reaction that breaks carbondioxide molecules and water to produce sugars.

After the animal eat the food, it's get chemical energy and it's is converted to kinetic energy for movement.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by a body in motion.

The biological ladder represents the development of species from simple form to a much complex form.

A genetic cross between two F1-hybrid pea plants for spherical seeds will yield 50% of plants with a heterozygous genotype in the F2 generation. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

What is a Genotype?

A genotype may be defined as the ultimate combination of alleles of those genes that are subsequently selected for specific study in order to reveal some genetic facts and traits of an individual.

According to the question, the two F1-hybrid pea plants for spherical seeds have the genotype of Rr and when these two genotypes are crossed with one another, it produces offspring with the genotypes RR, Rr, Rr, and rr. In this set of offspring, 2 of them have heterozygous genotypes.

Therefore, a genetic cross between two F1-hybrid pea plants for spherical seeds will yield 50% of plants with a heterozygous genotype in the F2 generation. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

In his analysis of different species’ DNA, E.Chargaff discovered the base-pairing rules of DNA.
1.) Chargaff’s rules state: The amount of adenine is equal to ? and the amount of cytosine is equal to ? .
2.) if a sample of jellyfish DNA is 14% cyotsine, approximately how much adenine would there be in that same sample? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

1. Thymine, Guanine

2. 36% Adenine

Explanation:

1. Edwin Chargaff, who proposed the complementary base pairing rule, stated in his rule that the amount of purine bases (Adenine and Guanine) is equal to the amount of Pyrimidine bases (Cytosine and Thymine). This means that, in a DNA molecule, the amount of adenine is always equal to Thymine (A=T) and the amount of Cytosine is equal to Guanine (G=C).

Also, the total amount of the four nucleotide bases that make up a DNA molecule is equal to 1 or 100% i.e. A+T+G+C= 100%

2. Based on the rule above, if a sample of jelly fish DNA contains 14% Cytosine, the amount of its complementary pair (Guanine) will also be 14%.

Hence, Cytosine and Guanine will collectively occupy 14+14=28% of the DNA.

To find the amount of the other two bases i.e. Adenine and Thymine, we subtract 28% from 100%

That is, 100 - 28 = 72%

If both Adenine and Thymine contains 72% and each must be equal, we divide 72% by 2 to get the amount of each.

Hence, 72/2 = 36% of Adenine and 36% of Thymine.

According to the question, Adenine will contain 36% in the Jellyfish DNA.
