The answer can be found be using the formula of orbital velocity v=√{(G*M)/R}

Here G =Gravitational constant (G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)

M= Mass of star

R = The distance between planet and the star

As we also know, v=ωR,

Here, ω= angular velocity

         R= radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R}, now, ω=2π/T, where T is the orbital period of the planet

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}, we "put to the power of 2" both sides to get rid of the square root and get:


{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]², 


(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R, we multiply by R:


(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M, now we solve for R and get:


R³=(G*M*T²)/4π², we take the third root to get R:


R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²}, inserting the values of time and mass ( T= 2.8 x 10 s and Mass= 6.2x 10 kg)

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

R=R=∛[{G=6.67*10^-11 x 6.2x 10 x (2.8 x 10^2)/4x3.14²},

R=9.36*10^11 m 


So this will be the average distance between the star and the planet.

Answer:

9.36 * 10^11 m

Explanation:

The formula of general velocity can be used here =  v=√{(G*M)/R}.

G = gravitational constant or 6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

M = Mass of the star

R = radius

To find v we use the formula v=ωR.

Here ω is the angular velocity; ω  = ω=2π/T

Here T is the orbital period of the planet

The formula is arranged likewise: (2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

Step 2: {(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²

Step 3: (4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R

Step 4: (4π²/T²)*R³=G*M

Step 5: R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²

Step 6: R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²}

Step 7: Add your numbers to the formula and we get the answer.

DNA sequences can act as "tape measures of evolution". Some highly conserved regions of the human genome (similar to comparable
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

The DNA contains many regulatory sequences that are very important, even though they do not code for proteins.

For example, the expression of every gene is regulated by a region called the Promoter. The promoter sequence, located close by the coding region of the gene, usually binds the RNA polymerase (the enzyme that transcribes genes into mRNA) as well as other proteins necessary for transcription,

The promoter sequence, thus, does not itself code for proteins, but is essential for transcription and must be highly conserved so that the RNA polymerase can find it.

Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.
