<span>Although a star might look brighter than the Sun, a comparison of its absolute<span> magnitude might help prove that they have the same real brightness.
Absolute magnitude is a concept that compares the absolute brightness of celestial objects. The absolute magnitude of an object is defined as the apparent magnitude it would have if it were viewed at a standard distance of 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years) with no dimming of its light. The more luminous an object, the smaller the numerical value of its absolute magnitude.</span></span>
Answer:
The correct answer is option (D) "His- strain grows on an his- plate".
Explanation:
The Ames test is a procedure that allows to detect if a given compound can cause mutations on a tested organism by growing strains of bacteria that require histidine (His-) to growth, since they are not able to produce its own histidine. In the Ames test, the bacteria is exposed to a given compound and is grown in a medium with small amount of histidine (his- plate). If the His- strain grows on a his- plate, it means that the bacteria has mutated to synthesize its own histidine and it is considered as a positive result on a the Ames test.
