Answer:

1-false, since its shape is only elliptical

2-true, Large elliptical galaxies often have a system of globular clusters, double nuclei, and large numbers of satellite galaxies.

Therefore they are assimilating or appearing new stars.

3- false, type 2 irregular galaxies are generally new galaxies but the same does not happen with elliptical ones.

4-true, since elliptical galaxies have new and old stars and irregular ones almost all new stars

Explanation:

Types of galaxies. Galaxies have three different configurations: elliptical, spiral, and irregular. A somewhat more specific description, based on its appearance, is provided by the Hubble sequence, proposed in 1936
