A radio broadcast left Earth in 1911. How far in light years has it traveled? If there is, on average, 1 star system per 400 cubic light years, how many star systems has this broadcast reached? Assume that the fraction of these star systems that have planets is 0.50 and that, in a given planetary system, the average number of planets that have orbited in the habitable zone for 4 billion years is 0.20. How many possible planets with life could have heard this signal?

Which of the following seems least reasonable regarding life on Earth? Group of answer choices There is much scientific evidence suggesting that all creatures living on Earth today appear to have evolved from a common ancestor. Louis Pasteur discredited the concept of spontaneous generation by demonstrating that even bacteria and other microorganisms arise from parents resembling themselves. There is ample physical evidence that the earliest life forms on Earth were multicellular creatures, perhaps resembling some of our primitive fish. When the earth formed some 4.6 billion years ago, it was a lifeless, inhospitable place. Before the mid-17th century, most people believed that God had created humankind and other higher organisms and that insects, frogs, and other small creatures could arise spontaneously in mud or decaying matter About billion years into its development, the Earth it was teeming with organisms resembling blue-green algae.

Which of the following statements about the "tree of life" is correct? Before Carl Woese, all cellular life forms were classified into five kingdoms: Monera, Fungi, Plants, Animals, and Protists. Using rRNA genes for phylogenetic reconstruction, Carl Woese uncovered a previously unrecognized group that was thought to be bacteria. Afterward, all cellular life forms were classified into three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya. It is found that the relationship among Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya changes, depending on which gene was used for phylogenetic reconstruction. All of the above
