Ms. huskey asked her science class to develop a scale model of the solar system where the sun has a diameter of 1.0 m given that the sun has a diameter of 1,392,000 km. how large should shannon make the smallest planet in his scale model of the solar system?

3.5 mm

Explanation:

Given the size of the sun, the scale ratio is :

Now to determine how large the smallest planet should be, you just need to make sure that its measurement is proportion to that scale. According to your table, the smallest planet is Mercury with a diameter of 4,879.4 km. Now we can write a proportion for this, to determine the scale:

Cross multiply then divide to solve for x.

So the smallest planet would be 0.0035m. Since your choices are in mm (and that is a very small number to estimate) we can convert it into mm.

1 meter = 1,000 millimeters

The answer is then 3.5mm.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
