Read the following statements related to telescopes carefully:
(A) The main considerations of an astronomical telescope are its light gathering power and its resolution.
(B) the ability to observe two objects (very nearly in the same direction) distinctly depends on the diameter of the objective
(C) large-sized lenses which form images that are free from any kind of chromatic aberration and distortions can be made easily
(D) Telescopes with mirror objectives are free from chromatic aberration
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A (A), (B) and (C) only
- B (A), (B) and (D) only
- C (B), (C) and (D) only
- D (A), (B), (C) and (D)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) (A), (B) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement (A) is correct: A telescope's primary functions are to collect as much light as possible (light-gathering power) and to distinguish between two closely spaced objects (resolving power). Statement (B) is correct: Resolving power depends on the diameter ( \(D\) ) of the…

Recombinant DNA Technology Asexual reproduction preserves the genetic information, while sexual reproduction permits variation. Traditional hybridization procedures used in plants and animals breeding very often lead to inclusion and multiplication of undesirable genes along with the desired genes. The techniques of genetic engineering, which include creation of recombinant DNA, use of gene cloning and gene transfer, overcome this limitation and allow us to isolate and introduce only one or a set of desirable genes without introducing genes into the target organism.
