8. The diagram below shows the shift in the spectrum for hydrogen light from several different sources in the universe. What is the best argument that can be made from this data?
More distant galaxies are moving toward us faster.
More distant galaxies are brighter.
More distant galaxies are not as bright.
More distant galaxies are moving away faster.

more distant galaxies are moving away faster.

the shift towards red (Doppler effect like with sound on Earth) is the indication.

Explanation:

what did this have to do with biology ?

and by the way, this is also something I debate severely in scientific communities, because yes, the red shift is there. but "more distant" also means "more in the past", so that the data shows us actually that things in the past moved faster away. not necessarily today ...

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
