Answer:

Lack of gravity causes you to use less work to move your muscles.

Explanation:

If on Earth your arm weighs 3 pounds, the muscle will only have to move 3 pounds of force. For example, if you were to go on the moon, your arm would have the same mass but there would be less gravity pulling it dow. So now your muscles only need to pull 1 pound. Over extended periods, you would be working less, thus not using your muscles to fullest potential and in result you would get weaker.

Because astronauts work in a weightless environment, very little muscle contraction is needed to support their bodies or move around. Without regular use and exercise our muscles weaken and deteriorate. It's a process called atrophy.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

148

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Here,

Total population = 592

Number of NN people = 148

Frequency of N blood group or NN genotype (q²) = 148/592 = 0.25

q = √0.25 = 0.5

p = 1 - q

= 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Hence, p = 0.5

Frequency of MM genotype = p² = 0.25

Number of people with MM genotype = 0.25*592 = 148

Hence, 148 people will have MM genotype or M blood group.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The barrier functions to regulate the chemical composition of the extracellular fluid surrounding the brain cells.

Explanation:

Blood-brain barrier

It is a very selective semipermeable membrane , hence allow some specific substance to pass via it . This barrier separates the  extracellular fluid in the central nervous system  and the circulating blood from the brain .

<u>The barrier is composed of the endothelial cells .</u>

Passive diffusion is shown in this system , and allows molecules like the water , glucose , amino acid to pass .

It regulates the chemical composition of the fluid of brain cell .
