1.C

2.D

3.B

4.D

Explanation:

1. The orbit on which moon revolve around earth has a perigee point which is the nearest point to earth while apogee is the farthest point to planet earth.  

A penumbral is a region in which occluding body obscure a portion of light. It has no relation with the moon's orbit. Also an eclipse is a phase based on position of moon with respect to earth and sun

Hence, option C is correct

2. Gamma rays are extremely powerful and energetic as they are produced as a result of radiation and hence it is very difficult to focus them on normal lenses which are designed to focus only visible light. They interact with the matter of the focusing surface and destroys them selves.

Hence, option D is correct

3. Corona is the outer surface of stars  that extends to millions of kilometers into the space. Sun being a star has corona at its outer layer which is visible only during  

total solar eclipse. Hence option B is correct

4. When the gravitational force of moon attracts the water on earth, it presume a rising and falling form that is termed as tides.  

Hence option D is correct

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.

this is true, assuming that the allele is completely recessive and incomplete dominance is not a factor.
