The closest star to our own, approximately 4.2 light-years away or 25 trillion miles, is the red-dwarf, Proxima Centauri. This low-mass star is about 12% the mass of our Sun, however, a planet has been observed rotating around this red-dwarf star called Proxima c. This exoplanet is approximately 1.3 times the size of earth and appears to have a rocky terrain. Because of its rotation,Proxima c would have approximately 22 Earth days between sunrises and the surface temperature would beapproximately -40C. Evidence of both atmospheric and liquid water on the surface has been observed. Because of the closeness of this planet to the Proxima Centauri, the planet is flooded with 400x more radiation than Earth and a solar wind pressure 2000x that experienced on Earth. Due to these factors, the inhabitants of this planet would most likely live underground and would only venture above ground for resources. They would be bipedal humanoids, resembling humans in their anatomy and physiology. However, considering the differences between Proxima c and Earth, there will be adaptations that would ensure their survival on Proxima c driven by the process of natural selection.

Analysis:

Using this information, you should describe and justify one adaptation to the nervous system that this organism wouldhave to inhabit Proxima c.  This analysis should include the following:  

• Description of the physiology of the human nervous system (refer to your textbook).

• An explanation of how the environment of Proxima cmay affect the functioning of the human nervous system and special senses.

• Propose an adaptation to the human nervous system the Proxima c humanoid would have to compensate for the environment.

o The adaptation can be based on changes in a human organ to make it work more efficiently on Proxima c or can be an organ that is not found in the human nervous system.

• The proposal should include justification as to why that particular adaption would benefit the humanoid more than any other adaptation to the nervous system.

o Justifications should be based on known scientific principles and research.

• Describe how this change or new organ would enable the humanoid to function better on this planet than on Earth.

• Use reliable sources and identify the relevant

There isn't a right answer but just looking for advice on how to start with the analysis

Explain the meaning of genetic code, and describe how the genetic code functions.
a. Explain the one gene-one polypeptide theory.
b. The DNA sequence of a gene determines the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. What studies have demonstrated this relationship?
c. In what molecule are codons found? How many nucleotides are in each codon? How many nucleotides are available to make up each codon? How many different types of codons are possible? How many amino acids are specified by one codon? Theoretically, how many different amino acids could be coded? How many different amino acids are available? Given this information, is it possible that each amino acid is coded by more than one codon?
d. Would a mutation involving deletion of one nucleotide affect the amino acid sequence of the corresponding peptide? Would deletion of a sequence of three nucleotides have a similar effect? What does this fact say about the nature of the genetic code?

(please answer all the questions above thank you!)
