What would occur if there was a gain-of-function mutation in the promoter for the cyclin E gene such that cyclin E protein was a
rjkz [21]

Answer:

b) Cells will pass through the G1/S checkpoint even if conditions are not ideal for cell division.

Explanation:

In the given problem, if there exists a gain-of-function mutation for the given cell, there would not be the formation of cyclin E when there is the possibility of cells movement via the checkpoint of the G1/S, even when there are non-deal conditions for the division of cell. Thus, the correct option in the lists of options is the option b.

How does a blue object look under all colors of light
OverLord2011 [107]
The "blue" object would look the same. Say that this blue object is a square. That "square" is every color but blue. The only reason that you see it as "blue" is because what we call "blue", it the only color of light that bounces back at our eyes. Under all colors of light, especially simultaneously. This square or any shape for that matter would absorb the other colors of light, but the blue will be rejected. Therefore, we can only see what bounces back at our eyes, which is the color blue in this case. 

Hope this helps, WyattMarine501

Scientists want to place a 3400.0 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit at a speed of 2480.0
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Part a)

r = 6.96 \times 10^6 m

Part b)

F_g = 3.004 \times 10^3 N

Part c)

a = 0.88 m/s^2

Part d)

v = \frac{2480}{2} = 1240 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

v = 2480 m/s

now we will have

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{mars}}{r}}

now we have

M_{mars} = 6.4191 \times 10^{23} kg

R_{mars} = 3.397 \times 10^6 m

now we have

2480 = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(6.4191 \times 10^{23})}{r}}

r = 6.96 \times 10^6 m

Part b)

Here force between mars and satellite is the gravitational attraction force which is given as

F_g = \frac{GM_{mars} m}{r^2}

F_g = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.4191 \times 10^{23})(3400)}{(6.96\times 10^6)^2}

F_g = 3.004 \times 10^3 N

Part c)

Acceleration of satellite is the ratio of gravitational force and mass of the satellite

a = \frac{F_g}{m}

a = \frac{3004}{3400}

a = 0.88 m/s^2

Part d)

As we know by III law of kepler

\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}

here we know that T2 = 8 T1

(\frac{1}{8})^2= \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}

\frac{r_1}{r_2} = (\frac{1}{2})^2

so we have

r_2 = 4r_1

as we know that speed is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

so we can say since radius is orbit becomes 4 times so the orbital speed must be half

v = \frac{2480}{2} = 1240 m/s
