Kepler-186f is an exoplanet that orbits a star other than the Sun. Its star is the red dwarf Kepler-186. It is the first planet

to be discovered that orbits its star at a distance similar to Earth’s distance from the Sun. If Kepler-186f is approximately 5.4 x 1010 meters from Kepler-186, how long does it take for light from the star to reach the exoplanet? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s

Answer:

180seconds

Explanation:

According to the question, Kepler-186f is an exoplanet that orbits a star called kepler-186, other than the Sun.

Distance of the star (kepler-186) away from the planet is 5.4 x 10^10 meters

In order to calculate how long i.e. time, a light moving at an average speed of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s will get to the exoplanet from the star, we use;

Speed (m/s) = Distance (m) ÷ time (s)

Time = Distance/speed

Time = 5.4 x 10^10 ÷ 3.0 x 10^8

Time = 5.4/3.0 × 10^ (10-8)

Time = 1.8 × 10^2

Time = 180seconds.

Gynephilia is a term used in behavioral science to describe sexual orientation, as an attraction to women. When it's sexual attraction to men is called androphilia and when its attraction to both is called ambiphilia.
This term describes the attraction not gender identity. That means the fact that the person is transgender, doesn't matter in this terms.<span />

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: The claim that gene regulation results in differential gene expression and influences cellular products (albumin or crystalline) is best supported by t<u>he specific transcription factors made in a cell.</u>

Explanation:

Genes store deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA that makes up the genome. The genetic information within genes is expressed through a process called transcription followed by translation.

During this, the genotype of the organism is changed into its phenotype or physical characteristics genes are controlled or regulated through certain molecular mechanisms   These essentially determine transcription and translation and whether gene products is active or in active genes are turned on when they are able to transcribe the genome.  

gene expression may be regulated   via

  • modulation before or after the transcription process
  • modulating translation
  • modulation after translation

A control for the transcription process  is called a transcription factor. These are DNA sequence specific proteins that are capable of activating or suppressing transcription at certain sites. In different cell types, different combinations of transcription factors contribute to gene expression.

Habitat destruction :

Habitat destruction is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or die, thereby reducing biodiversity and species abundance.
