Question
Which of the following is not a property of elliptical galaxies?Group of answer choicesThey contain mostly old stars.They have little dust and gas.They have prominent spiral arms.Stars are distributed smoothly throughout their volume.
Solution
The property that does not belong to elliptical galaxies is "They have prominent spiral arms." This is a characteristic of spiral galaxies, not elliptical ones. Elliptical galaxies are characterized by their smooth, nearly featureless image, which indicates a lack of spiral arms.
