To study the molecular mechanism of DNA replication, you incubated soluble E. coli extracts with a mixture of dATP, dTTP, dGTP,

and dCTP, all of which are labeled with the -phosphate group. After a while, the incubation mixture was treated with trichloroacetic acid, which precipitate the DNA but not the nucleotide or very short oligonucleotides. The precipitate was collected and the extent of the radioactively label nucleotide incorporation into the DNA was determined.
a.) If any one of the four nucleotides is omitted from the incubation mixture, would you detect radioactivity in the precipitate? Explainb.) Would 32P be incorporated into the DNA if only dTTP is labeled? Explainc.) Would radioactivity be found in the precipitate if 32P labeled the β and γ rather than the α phosphate of the deoxyribonucleotides? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Since, mixture of dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP all were labeled; radioactivity can be detected even if one of the four nucleotides is omitted from the incubation mixture. This is because all other three nucleotides contain labeled phosphate and hence, radioactivity can be detected.

B) Yes. If 32P is labeled only dTTP, it can be detected in DNA. Since, dTTP can pair with 'A' nucleotide in DNA.

C) Mostly radioactivity can be detected in DNA when the alpha or terminal phosphates are labeled. It is difficult to detect radioactivity when phosphate groups other alpha like beta or gamma phosphates are labeled. Even if the radioactivity is detected it can be detected in rare cases like 5`end labeling of DNA on gamma phosphate.

Can someone help me on this .
Ber [7]

Answer:

7) a. Absorbed: black surfaces absorb light, like in a playground.

b. Transmitted: when light falls on transparent objects, it is transmitted, goes straight through the object, like the clear glass of a window

c. Reflected: when light falls on a smooth, shiny object, it bounces off in one particular direction, like looking at the smooth surface of a lake

Give an example of a chemical adaptation. State the name of the organism and describe the adaptation. Discuss how this adaptatio
lesya [120]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Adaptation is referred to as a change or mutation that occurs in an organism that helps it to survive in its environment. The three types of adaptations include structural or morphological, physiological or chemical and behavioral adaptations.

  • Physiological or chemical adaptations.

Physiological or chemical adaptations are adaptations that do not show from the outside and are based on the body chemistry and metabolism of organisms which enable them to regulate their body functions and perform certain peculiar functions such as defense mechanisms in order to survive in its environment. Examples include the toxins released by certain plant leaves to repel herbivores, compounds present in the saliva of the mosquito to prevent blood coagulation, the more efficient kidneys of desert animals, etc.

For example, in certain marine organisms that are sedentary or move slowly such as starfish or sea stars, the chemical adaptation helps them to protect from predators. They excrete some chemicals from their skin as a defense mechanism that is harmful to the predators.  

Whales are marine mammals that migrate to large distances and spend most of their time in arctic, tropical or temperate waters. In order to survive these temperature changes, they maintain a constant body temperature that is not dependent on the surrounding water. So, they are called endothermic or warm-blooded animals.

  • Structural (morphological) adaptations.

A change that occurs in the appearance or morphology (structure) of an organism in order to survive in its environment is known as structural adaptations. Examples of structural adaptations include the sharp eyesight of predatory birds,  small ears of Arctic foxes to retain body heat, corky bark of trees to protect from wildfires, etc.

  • Behavioral adaptations

Behavioral adaptations are adaptations that affect the behavior or action of an organism in order to survive in its environment. Examples include birds migrating to warmer winter climates, hibernation of bears to escape the cold, desert animals active at night during hot summer weather, etc.

Summarize how DNA directs the making of a protein
ad-work [718]
DNA is pretty much a blueprint for how cells should work. So DNA tells the ribosomes in the cell to make protein.
