Look at the graph below. A graph is shown with Absolute magnitude shown on y axis and Surface temperature in degree Celsius shown on x axis. The Dwarf stars are shown along a slanting line from coordinates 30,000 and minus 3 to 10,000 and minus 4. The Main Sequence stars are shown along a slanting line from coordinates 20,000 and minus 2 to 2,000 and minus 6. The giants are shown along a line parallel to the x axis from coordinates 5,000 and 2 to 2,000 and 3. The supergiants are shown along a line parallel to the x axis from coordinates 7,500 and 4 to 2,500 and 4. Point A has coordinates 20,000 and minus 4. Point B has coordinates 2,500 and minus 4. Point C has coordinates 5,000 and 2. Point D has coordinates 7,000 and 4. Which statement is true about Star A? It is red in color. It is yellow in color. It is four times brighter than the sun. It is four times dimmer than the sun.

Plz ! for many generations farmers in north america have been choosing to cross corn plants with large ears of corn each year this results in the new generation of plants also growing large ears of corn. what is the technique called? a. selective breeding. b. natural selection. c. mitosis. d. asexual budding.

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
