Scientists discover two planets orbiting a distant star. The average distance from the star to Planet A is 4 AU, and it takes 43

2 Earth days for Planet A to orbit the star. If it takes 1,460 days for Planet B to complete an orbit, what is the average distance from Planet B to the star?

Answer:

C. 9 AU

Explanation:

The period (T) of Planet A is 432365=1.2 Earth years. The period of Planet B is 1,458365=4.0 Earth years. Kepler's Third Law states that

a3=kT2

Substituting the known values of a and T for Planet A, we have

43=k⋅1.22

64=k⋅1.4

k=45.7

Using this value for k, we can solve for the distance from Planet B to the star

a3=45.7⋅4.02

a3=731.2

a=9.0AU

An alternative solution is to notice that a3T2=k for both orbits, which means that the ratio a3T2 is the same for both orbits. So, 434322=x314582. Solving this proportion gives x3=729, so x=9.0AU.

Why is it important for a cell to perform checks after DNA replication?
kifflom [539]

I hope it's an open question, since I can not find the statements.

The monitoring mechanisms are in addition to the regulation of the succession of the four phases of the cycle by the Cdk. They allow the monitoring of fundamental aspects such as the state of the DNA molecules before, during and after their replication (DDCP = DNA Damage Checkpoint), the total completion of the replication before the entry into mitosis (RCP = Replication Checkpoint ) and the correct positioning of all chromosomes on the metaphase plate before sister chromatid separation (MPC = Mitotic Checkpoint).

Disruption of the cell cycle leads either to cell death because the cell can no longer continue its cycle, in the worst case to anarchic proliferation. The major interest of the study of the regulation of the cell cycle and its points of surveillance lies in the fact that these processes are often unregulated in cancers. Knowing the regulation of the cell cycle is therefore fundamental for oncology and can be used to develop new therapeutic approaches.

What is copied each time a cell divides?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
