Question

At a cost of $3,000,000, the human genome project mapped the approximately 2500 human genes in March 2000. Scientists have long held the belief that the human DNA was static and take years for evolutionary change to occur. A new branch of science called epigenetics as challenged that thought with the microscopic discovery of epigenomes, markers that sit close to respective gnomes. The discovery of epigenomes has opened the door to acknowledging that heredity changes can be passed to the next generation, define the Darwin laws of slow evolutionary change. Source: cloud, John." Why jeans aren't destiny." Time 18, January 2010. Question: if a measurement in studying epogenome is 1.8 Times 10 negative to the fifth power, what is this number in standard notation? My choices are A. 0.000018 B, 180, 000 C. 0.0018 D. 18,000

Explanation / Answer

The number is 1.8 * 10^(-5) = 0.000018

Hence the correct answer is Option A
