False, pernicious anemia may take up to 5 years to show symptoms. However, the oxygen starts to get depleted within the first 6 months in thalassemia major.

Pernicious anemia:

In this condition, the body is unable to absorb vitamin B12 which leads to lowered amount of red blood cells which are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. It is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack their own cells in the lining of the stomach which affects the absorption of vitamin B12. The symptoms of pernicious anemia are dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, breathlessness, and loss of appetite. The depletion of oxygen is seen in thalassemia major within 6 months.

Meselson and Stahl's experiments proved that DNA replicates by which mode?

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Semi-conservative

Explanation:

Meselson–Stahl experiment proved that DNA replication is a semiconservative process, feeding E. colo bacteria with different types of Nitrogen isotopes (N14 and N15).

Changing the type of radioactive compound in different times of bacteria grow, they could observe that both of the isotopes were present on the bacteria culture.

Basically, if the bacteria present both of them, the DNA was replicated semiconcervely.

Guess what? they show both! (See the image for more information)
