32. Long-term changes related to extended time in space have
been observed in
A. bone formation
B. telomeres
C. the immune system
D. DNA
E. all of the above
38.Transfer of information from the human brain to a computer would
involve all memory processes.
true
false
39. The Brain Preservation Foundation aims to preserve brains so
that their connectomes are retained and recoverable, with the hope
of recovering encoded memories.
true
false
40. The nervous system is affected by aging due to
A. loss of white matter
B. increase lag time of firing neurons
C. increased susceptibility to illness
42. Changes in heart muscle mass in Martian humans will increase
the likelihood of
A. hypertension
B. heart failure
C. diabetes
D. renal failure
43. Getting to Mars could be accomplished using this method, in
which one small vehicle would be utilized to descend to the surface
of Mars and return up to Mars’ orbit, where it will rendezvous with
another spacecraft
A. Mars Orbit Rendezvous
B. Earth-Mars Rendezvous
C. Space X
47. Since the thymus gland atrophies as aging occurs,
A. immunity increases
B. immunity decreases
C. there is no change to immunity
32. The answer is - B. Telomeres.
Long term changes related to extended time in space affects the length of telomeres. Telomeres are the caps that protect the ends DNA strand. On earth, these telomeres gets depleted as the person age die to DNA replication process. A study conducted on the twin brothers showed that telomere of the brother who was in space showed the telomere length the same as preflight levels while his brother who was in earth showed decreased length of telomere.
38. The answer is - False.
Transfer of information from human brain to computer is whole brain emulation or brain upload is futuristic process which is yet to be developed.
39. The answer is - true.
The Brain Preservation Foundation is an American non profit organisation that preserves brain in order to research with the hope of recovering the encoded memories.
40. The answer is - A . Loss of white matter.
By the age of 60, the white matter in the brain starts degenerating which is termed as white Matter disease. This is common age related change in the nervous system.
42. The answer is - A . Hypertension.
Changes in cardiac muscle in Martian humans causes overload on heart causing hypertension which inturn causes other cardiac related problems.
