Q.8. What was Ebright’s achievement? How did he reach this
achievement?
Ans. Ebright was a curious child. He started his journey with
butterflies. His mother played an important role in his study. She always had
something to do for Ebright. She bought camera, telescope and books for him.
She gave him a book named, ‘ The Travel of Monarch X’. This book opened the
world of science for Ebright. He learnt about real science from a country science
fair. Then he decided to do some real experiment. He tried to find out the cause
of viral disease that kills monarch caterpillars. Next he tried to find out why
viceroy butterfly copies monarch. He finds out the purpose of tiny gold spots on
monarch pupa. His research led him to the theory of cells. Finally he discovered
that cells can reach the blueprint of its DNA.
