In a bedridden patient recovering from a badly fractured femur, disuse atrophy in the thigh muscles is caused by <span>decreased synthesis of muscle proteins and/or increased breakdown of muscle proteins. Muscle tissue grows and heals in response to stress. Without the stress of exercise and normal daily activities, muscle tissue degenerates</span>
Answer:
Explanation:Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
Answer:
- the age of the oldest stars
- patterns of background radiation
- how fast distant galaxies are moving away from us
Explanation:
According to the NASA, astronomers can estimate how old the universe is by comparing the age of the oldest stars and the rate of expansion of the universe. The rate of expansion of the universe is based on the Big Bang theory and it states that our universe is continuously expanding since it first developed. Astronomers measure Cosmic Microwave Background radiation resulting from the Big Bang.
Gravitational acceleration is approx 9.8 m/s
Time is 7s
a=9.8 m/s
t=7s
a = d/t^2
therefore:
d = a * t^2
d = 9.8 * 7^2
d = 9.8 * 49
d = 480.2 [m]
