Question 36.
Why does the sun appear reddish early in the morning. Why does the sky appear dark instead of blue to an astronaut.
Answer:
During sunrise the light rays coming from the sun have to travel a greater distance in the earth’s atmosphere before reaching our eyes in this journey. The shorter waves of light are scattered out and only longer wavelengths are able to reach our eyes. Since blue colour has a shorter wave length and red colour has longer wave length the red colour is able to reach our eye after the atmospheric scattering of light, therefore the sun appears reddish early in the morning.
The sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut because there is no atmosphere in the outer space that can scatter the sunlight as the sunlight reaches the eyes of the astronauts. Without scattering the sky appears black to them.

b) List any four reasons for adopting contraceptive method
c) If a woman is using copper T, will it help in protecting her from sexually transmitted diseases. Why ?
Answer:
a) Advantages of sexual reproduction.
- In sexual reproduction more variations are produced thus it ensures survival of species in a pollination.
- The new formed individual has characteristics of both the parents.
- Variations are more variable in sexual mode then in asexual one. This is because in asexual reproduction, DNA has to function inside the inherited cellular apparatus.
b) Four reasons for adopting contraceptive methods are
- To increase the gap between two children.
- To prevent unwanted pregnancy.
- To prevent transmission of STD’s
- To control populations growth.
c) If a woman is using copper – T it will not help in protecting her from sexually transmitted diseases. Copper – T prevents only implantation in the uterus.
