When we see a star in the night sky, we are actually seeing how it was sometime in the past. This is because light takes time to

travel from the star to Earth. Light travels 9.5 × 1015 m in one year. This distance is called 1 light year. When an astronomer sees the star Betelgeuse, which is approximately 6.08 × 1018 m from Earth, how long ago did the star appear the way it does to her today?

Solution -

The correct answer is  640 years

Step by Step Solutions -

The speed of light to travel some distance = 9.5 × 1015 m /year

Star Betelgeuse is at a distance of 6.08 × 1018 m  

The time taken by light to travel = distance /speed

= 6.08 × 1018 m  /9.5 × 1015 m /year

= 640 year.

9.5 x 1015 = 9642.5
<span>6.08 × 1018 = 6189.44
  If you take these two problems, and then subtract, and find out the difference between the two distances, then you should be able to get your answer.

 Hope this helps!</span>

Lapatulllka [165]

Given question is incomplete as it lacks the group of choices. However, the group of choices associated with the question is as follows:

1. Organisms must display variation.

2. A trait must increase reproduction.

3. A trait must directly affect metabolism.

4. A trait must increase survival.

5. A trait must be able to be passed on to future generations.

Answer:

The correct answer is : option 3. A trait must directly affect metabolism.

Explanation:

The process that leads to change or adaption in the species or a population of the organism known as natural selection. In this process population exhibits the variation in the population due to the change or adaption.

This variation refers to the better traits and increased reproductive ability, suited to the environment than others which is also known as survival of the fittest as they increase their survival in comparison to the other population or species. Natural selection carries traits that are passed on to one generation to another.

Thus, the correct answer is option Is : 3. A trait must directly affect metabolism.

In what type of asexual reproduction are seeds produced even without the joining of sperm and eggs?
dem82 [27]
This type of asexual reproduction is called apomixis. 
Apoximis is reproduction by special generative tissues without fertilization. It includes parthenogenesis in animals, in which the new individuals develop from unfertilized egg, and apogamy in certain plants in which the generative tissues may be the sporophyte or the gametophyte.
