Answer:

Star P is smaller than star Q

Explanation:

Absolute brightness is defined as brightness of a celestial object or star from a  Standard distance usually taken as 10 parsecs from Earth. If one star is brighther than the other then there can be two variable playing major role given that they are at same distance –  

a) composition of star and

b) Its size.  

The larger the star, the more energy it will emit per second and hence more will be its absolute brightness.  

Thus, star P is smaller than star Q

What are the differences between mitosis and meiosis in human cells? Pay particular attention to the types of cells, number of d
Nezavi [6.7K]
Mitosis Involves one cell division? Results in two daughter cells Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically identical Occurs in all organisms except viruses Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm) Prophase is much shorter No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase. In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Meiosis Involves two successive cell divisions Results in four daughter cells Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically different Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only Prophase I takes much longer Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator. During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Similarities Mitosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis. Meiosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!) In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis.

What causes genetic variation to be preserved or eliminated and how does that effect evolution
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Mutation. Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. ... Some mutations are unfavorable or harmful and are quickly eliminated from the population by natural selection.
