Radio telescope picks up the radio spectrum of electromagnetic waves from celestial bodies (just like telescopes like the Hubble pick up visible light – only that radio waves are invisible to our eyes). They are therefore used to detect objects in space that produces radio waves. Examples are quasars and pulsars. Radio telescopes also enable astronomers to be whats beyond gas and dust in space that blocks out most of the visible light spectrum.

Answer:

Radio waves from space are sensed by a giant parabolic reflector which concentrates them toward the top of a focusing antenna. A radio receptor converts the radio waves into electrical signals which are amplified and then transmitted to the center of the parabola. They are then recorded and analyzed in the laboratory so that scientists can obtain a radio image of the source observed. The parabolic antenna can usually be oriented to detect radio waves from all directions of space.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which a particular gene does not make protein the way that it otherwise normally would.
Nadya [2.5K]
The answer is A because genetic means it comes from your genes/parents genes so you know it’s either A or B because they both state something about your parents passing it to you. But you know it can’t be B because chloroplasts are only in plants and A says chromosomes which are in humans and relate to genes so we know it must be A.
