Stalactite.

<u>Stalactite:</u>

  • Often, stalagmites develop up from the cave floor, whereas stalagmites typically grow down from the cave roof.
  • It's simple to distinguish between the two since stalagmites have a "G" for ground and stalactites have a "T" for top.
  • Typically made of calcium carbonate, stalagmites can also be made of lava, mud, peat, pitch, sand, sinter, and amber.
  • A single drop of water rich in minerals is the origin of all limestone stalactites.
  • The smallest ring of calcite is left behind by the falling water drop.
  • Another calcite ring is left behind with each new drop of water that develops and drops.

If carbon dioxide is completely removed from a plants environment , what would you expect to happen to the plants production of
Zigmanuir [339]
The plant's production of high-energy sugars would reduce significantly. I'm not going to say that the plant would completely stop producing the sugars because it has to respire, and one product of respiration would be carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide would be recycled so that the plant can photosynthesize and produce sugars.

Which model of replication did the actual results of the Meselson-Stahl experiment support? Explain your answer.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Semi-conservative replication

Explanation:

After the double-helix discovery of Watson and Crick, there were three possible models about the DNI replication:

  • The Conservative model stated that the two strands of DNI together were the template of another new molecule. The final product was the original double-stranded molecule and the new molecule.
  • The semi-conservative model stated that the original DNI molecule separated into two strands, and each of them served as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. The replication product would be two double-stranded DNA molecules, each carrying an original strand a new one.
  • The Dispersive moles stated that the replication product would be two molecules made by a mixture of segments of the original and the new molecules.

Meselson and Stahl joined to discover which of the models was the correct one. To do it they used E. coli and Nitrogen isotopes.

  • First, they extracted DNI from bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁴ and got its density band by centrifugation.
  • Then they grew bacteria in a medium with N¹⁵, extracted their DNI molecules, centrifugated them, and got the density band, which was heavier than the firsts ones.
  • The researchers then transferred bacteria grown in medium with N¹⁵  to a medium with N¹⁴, and they allowed only one replication process to occur. DNI was extracted and centrifugated again, and a new band appeared. This band was an intermediate form between bands of DNI-N¹⁵ and DNI-N¹⁴.

This event <em>eliminated the conservative model</em>. If this model were correct, the expected result would be to get two bands: one corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁵ and the other corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁴.

  • Bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁵ and then transferred to a medium with N¹⁴ were finally allowed to replicate twice. Their DNI was extracted and centrifugated. The result was two bands: one of them coincided with the intermediate band, and the other one with the DNI-N¹⁴.

<u>This result was conclusive</u> because if the dispersal model were correct, these two bands should not appear, as all the DNI strands would have part of the original molecule.

With this experiment, Meselson and Stahl proved that the correct replication model was the semi-conservative one.
