Answer:
The answer to these questions are:-
Explanation:
1) (a) Albright stopped tagging butterflies because it was tedious work and there was no reward.
(b) The phrase is used humorously because, according to a book Ebright had read, butterflies did not travel farther than 75 miles in central America during their migration.
(c) Richard Bright, a British physician who was born in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England on September 28, 1789, and died in London on December 16, 1858, was the first to describe the clinical signs and symptoms of Bright's illness, often known as nephritis, a kidney disorder.
(d) He discovered that if cells were fed a hormone that was contained in the monarch's gold spots, they would divide and develop into a typical butterfly. He thereby validated a novel notion that served as the DNA's blueprint. The results of Ebright's investigations demonstrate his abilities as a scientist.
2) (a) The author lists three characteristics that make a scientist: a brilliant mind, curiosity, and the will to succeed for the right reasons. An extremely bright student, Richard Ebright was. He was also a champion debater, a public speaker, a good canoeist and an expert photographer.
(b) With his butterfly collection, Richard was getting bored. His mother had just purchased the book "The Journeys of Monarch X" for him at this point. After finishing the novel, he investigated butterfly migration, which introduced him to the field of science.
(c) The book "The Travels of Monarch X" changed the course of his life. It explained how Monarch butterflies travelled to Central America, exposing them to a whole new scientific universe.
(d) By sending a letter to Dr Urquhart and permitting Ebright to affix small adhesive tags to the monarchs' wings so that they could be forwarded to the doctor, his mother assisted Ebright. He received the book from her, which sparked his interest in science.
3) During a science fair, Ebright conducted tests on butterflies. He attempted to explain the significance of the twelve little gold dots on a Monarch pupa in his project during his second year of high school. He discovered that the hormone required for a butterfly to fully mature was produced by those patches.
4) By sending a letter to Dr Urquhart and permitting Ebright to affix small adhesive tags to the monarchs' wings so that they could be forwarded to the doctor, his mother assisted Ebright. He received the book from her, which sparked his interest in science.
5) Being adaptable was a strength of Richard Ebright's. He was a debater, a lepidopterist, a canoeist, and many other things. He had a sharp mind and a relentless curiosity. From a very young age, he started collecting butterflies since he had a special affection for them.
