The first earthling to orbit our planet was just two years old. Her name was Laika, and she was picked up in the streets of Mosc

ow in 1957, just a few days before the launch of Sputnik 2. Laika was a terrier mutt, and her flight aboard Sputnik 2 paved the way for space exploration during a time when scientists weren’t sure if spaceflight was safe for living organisms. Since then, humans have orbited Earth and even walked on the moon. Currently NASA is planning a mission to send astronauts to a nearby asteroid, and commercial companies are planning civilian missions to the moon. Unmanned space probes have traveled past Neptune and Pluto to the outer edge of our solar system and entered interstellar space.
Space travel has come a long way since Laika, but there are still many celestial bodies waiting to be explored. What do you think will be the biggest space mission of the twenty-first century? What challenges do you anticipate that the humans or space probes will experience on this journey? What specific accommodations or technological advancements will be needed to make the mission successful?

i think since we have gone as far as our solar system boundaries the next big thing to achieve is to actually travel to another solar system, the challenge that would face anyone trying to reach another solar system is the distance, the distance is too long to cut with a speed slower than the speed of light in fact even the speed of light is not convenient for someone to travel and reach the other side before he dies and nothing can reach or exceed the speed of light because then they would lose their mass to energy, two proposed technologies to get past that is hibernation which is keeping the body alive in a sleeping state using a break through technology the other would be using a wormhole but we don't know of any in the moment

What is the differences between nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA?
oee [108]

Answer:

Believe it or not, mitochondria are their own organisms!

That’s right, they are single celled living beings that hitch a ride inside our cells for security, and in return they make our energy systems run much better than they would. This arrangement started a very long time ago, before we split from our last ancestor with plants, and long before we became multicellular. Other than this arrangement, our DNA has nothing to do with the DNA of the mitochondria (other than synergistic evolution making us more compatible with one another).

For this reason, it is easy to see how mitochondrial DNA differs from nuclear DNA.

First major difference is that we are in different kingdoms and even different super kingdoms to mitochondria (I know there are only meant to be 5 kingdoms but in biology people often use a system based off genetic differences, leading to a huge array of kingdoms that are often really distantly related). So our DNA and mitochondrial DNA share very few similarities. We both replicate our DNA using the same method and have the same base pairs, but the DNA itself says different things.

Another difference is that mitochondria generations are very fast compared to humans’, so their DNA undergoes genetic drift at a much faster rate, and changes more over time. Therefore it is much easier to locate recent changes in populations, for example the migrations out of Africa in the last 200,000 years, or the ethnic backgrounds of different African races, using mitochondrial DNA. In contrast nuclear DNA has fewer fine mutations that can be used as a map for recent events (in the last million years, say).

Mitochondria are passed down from mother to child in animals, so you will always have your mother’s mitochondrial DNA. This is why there is a mitochondrial Eve- this is the last female that is an ancestor of everyone on the planet, and therefore every human possesses direct ancestors of her mitochondria (and her nuclear DNA). In contrast we receive a 50/50 split of nuclear DNA from father and mother.

I hope this helps!

1. How is pressure related to force and surface area?
ki77a [65]
Air pressure pushes all around you, it is the force of air spread over the surface area of your skin


pressure is the measure of how much force over a certain area

this is an example
imagine putting a 10 pound weight (disk) on your stomach (not dropping, puttting), not too hard right, now imagine that it was 1 pin that was 10 pounds, that would hurt, the force is still 10 pounds down but the surface area is alot smaller, more pressure
