<span>Larger stars burn through their Hydrogen reserves faster, fusing Hydrogen into heavier Helium.

Also, to maintain their phenomenal heat, they have to do this to maintain internal pressure and therefore the fusion that powers them, they have to burn quickly to replace the excess heat they radiate away into outer space.

Currently our sun radiates away 4 Million Tonnes of mass every second, that only amounts to a miserly 0.0000001% of its entire mass. Imagine how much mass larger and larger stars lose every second.

The smallest stars, born at the red dwarf level can burn for trillions of years (at closest estimate). Compared with the Supergiant's, the big boys who were born in abundance during the birth of the universe burn out and explode in supernovae after only around 200 Million years. A whisper compared to the life of our Sun which is estimated to run out of fuel after at the ripe of age of 10 billion years.</span><span> </span>

When troponin binds calcium, A. it changes conformation, twisting tropomyosin and exposing actin-myosin binding sites. B. ion ch
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

The muscle contains the different type of proteins that helps in the contraction of muscles and the movements of different body parts. The proteins are actin, myosin, nebulin and tropomyosin.

The binding of the troponin with the calcium result in the confrontational change. This twists the another protein tropomyosin. This helps in the exposure of the actin-myosin binding site. Later, the ATP acts as the main factor for the muscle contraction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

What are some examples of how mutation aides genetic variation?
dangina [55]

Why study human genetics? One reason is simply an interest in better understanding ourselves. As a branch of genetics, human genetics concerns itself with what most of us consider to be the most interesting species on earth: Homo sapiens. But our interest in human genetics does not stop at the boundaries of the species, for what we learn about human genetic variation and its sources and transmission inevitably contributes to our understanding of genetics in general, just as the study of variation in other species informs our understanding of our own.

A second reason for studying human genetics is its practical value for human welfare. In this sense, human genetics is more an applied science than a fundamental science. One benefit of studying human genetic variation is the discovery and description of the genetic contribution to many human diseases. This is an increasingly powerful motivation in light of our growing understanding of the contribution that genes make to the development of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. In fact, society has been willing in the past and continues to be willing to pay significant amounts of money for research in this area, primarily because of its perception that such study has enormous potential to improve human health. This perception, and its realization in the discoveries of the past 20 years, have led to a marked increase in the number of people and organizations involved in human genetics.

This second reason for studying human genetics is related to the first. The desire to develop medical practices that can alleviate the suffering associated with human disease has provided strong support to basic research. Many basic biological phenomena have been discovered and described during the course of investigations into particular disease conditions. A classic example is the knowledge about human sex chromosomes that was gained through the study of patients with sex chromosome abnormalities. A more current example is our rapidly increasing understanding of the mechanisms that regulate cell growth and reproduction, understanding that we have gained primarily through a study of genes that, when mutated, increase the risk of cancer.

Likewise, the results of basic research inform and stimulate research into human disease. For example, the development of recombinant DNA techniques (Figure 3) rapidly transformed the study of human genetics, ultimately allowing scientists to study the detailed structure and functions of individual human genes, as well as to manipulate these genes in a variety of previously unimaginable ways.
