D. The planet's orbital path will become smaller and its orbital period will increase.

The more gravity an object has, the more it will pull objects.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Planets orbit around the Sun (star) due to the gravity of this star which pulls down them around it. This gravity is the vital force which maintains the elliptical path of their orbit.

If this force of gravity will change it will affect the celestial bodies revolving around it like a planet as this force of gravity is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

According to the question if the gravity of the star increases it will change the orbital path of the planets as they will be more pulled towards the sun which will decrease the distance between the star and planet and the orbital path will become smaller and the orbital period will increase.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Which of the following investigators was (were) responsible for the following discovery? In DNA from any species, the amount of
Zarrin [17]

Answer :Erwin Chargaff   a Biochemist

Explanation:

He formulated the base paring of double helix of DNA. He reasoned that since the percentage of four  DNA  bases are of this proportions in human;

                                  Adenine=30.9% and Thymine =29.4%;

                                  Guanine=19.9% and Cytosine =19.8%

Then,  the amount of adenine will always be equal to thymine,

And the amount of Guanine equals to cytosine based on this percentages of distribution.  

(Adenine and Guanine are large, molecule of Purines, while thymine and Cytosine are Pyrimidine)  

 

He concluded (although scientist believed, he did not explicitly stated this) that this should be the base paring patterns in DNA molecule. This is the first Chargaff Rule.

His second rule is that the DNA composition, in the relative amount of the four bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine varies in proportion from one organisms to another. And this is the basis of molecular diversity.

Why are the moon’s craters preserved?
Bingel [31]
The main reason is that there is no atmosphere. This means that there is no weather and no weather means that there is no wind or rain. Wind and rain are main components of erosion and because there is no erosion, craters can stay preserved for a very long time.

Hope this helps!!
