I believe the biggest space mission of the twenty-first century will be a manned mission to Mars, and the colonization that follows. This is the stated goal of several nations, companies, and individuals, all with considerably deep pockets. This mission will not only be a huge leap forward in space exploration, it will usher in a new era in human history in which the human race is an interplanetary civilization, a natural milestone as humanity continues to progress and advance. 

Significant challenges are many and overwhelming. In terms of getting to mars, we need efficient, powerful propulsion systems and a spaceship that can not only accommodate a full crew for a mission that would likely last years, but withstand the various hazards that a long trip through space and entrance into the Martian atmosphere will entail. In terms of colonization, significant challenges will include establishing efficient and frequent travel/transport between the planets, and in the longer term, the necessity to terraform the planet (make it more like Earth) so that humans can more easily live there.

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends

A new mutation arises in one person on the island of Kiribati (human population size 100,000). Assuming this particular mutation
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.999999 ≈ 1

Explanation:

In a population ( N ) there is the presence of 2N alleles in the population also chance of fixation can be expressed as ; 1/ 2N

Therefore the probability that the mutation will be lost due to genetic drift

= 2N - 1 / 2N ---- ( 1 )

given that ; N = 100,000

back to equation 1

P ( losing mutation due to genetic drift ) = ((2*100,000) - 1 )) / ( 2* 100,000 )

= ( 200,000 - 1 ) / 200,000

= 0.999999 ≈ 1

Which organelle recycles molecules for the cell to use again?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

lysosomes

Many components of the cell eventually wear out and need to be broken down and the parts recycled. This activity takes place inside the cell in specialized compartments called lysosomes.
