Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

In the given case, a similar amount of colonies is witnessed in both control as well as the test plate. This concludes that it does not influence the organism, thus, there was no enhancement in the rate of reversion, that is, the number of colonies in the test plate does not get decrease. Thus, the compound in the disc is not mutagenic as there was no increase in the reversion rate.

4. What does a total solar eclipse look like from Earth?
EastWind [94]

4. When you look up to the sky, it appears as a dark circle with  halo light at its edges moving across the face of the sun. As it does, depending on the relative position of the person on earth – that determines where they are on the umbra or penumbra of the eclipse, the place becomes a daytime twilight (umbra) or partial twilight (penumbra).

5. A new moon is formed when the moon is in between the sun and the earth. This is converse to the case of a lunar eclipse where the earth is between the sun and moon. In a new moon, the face of the moon that is faced towards the earth is dark because it is not lit by the sun. It is important to note that a solar eclipse is not formed because the moon’s orbit, around the earth, is tilted at an angle.
