Answer:

Analyze the Characteristics of a Star

Explanation:

Surface Temperature

First, you want to determine the color of the star - this can determine the heat and age of the star.

Second, you want to measure the spectrum and get the spectral type.

Chemical Composition

Determine which lines are present in the spectrum.

Luminosity

Measure the apparent brightness and compensate for distance

Radical Velocity

Measure the Doppler shift in the spectrum.

Rotation

Measure the width of spectral lines.

Mass

Measure the period and radial velocity curves of spectroscopic binary stars.

Diameter

1. Measure the way a star’s light is blocked by the Moon.

2. Measure the light curves and Doppler shifts for eclipsing binary stars.

Answer:

Measuring distances to stars through stellar parallax. Measuring distances to stars through the moving cluster method. Astronomers measure the temperature of a star by looking at the star's color and its spectrum. The apparent brightness of a star tells how bright it seems to us

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_{18}H_{24}O_2$ .

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be $C_xH_yO_z$

Percentage of an element in a compound:

$\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon in estradiol :

$\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%$

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol :

$\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%$

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol :

$\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%$

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2$

Ber [7]

Answer is option D. All of these choices are correct.

<u>Explanation</u>:

SNP or single nucleotide polymorphism is a location that showcases the difference in individual alleles by one base pair. Mainly, a genetic difference that happens between different individuals.

It is the most common variation in genetics among people. Further, every SNP represents the difference in single DNA building block known as a nucleotide. Many SNPs do not affect the health of a person. It helps in predicting a response of a person to drugs.
