In a series of experiments, Avery treated heat-killed nonvirulent S bacteria with enzymes that degraded the proteins, DNA, and R

NA of the S bacteria, then mixed this with nonvirulent R bacteria. S cells grew in all cases except the samples with degraded DNA. What did this demonstrate?
A. Protein, DNA, and RNA from the S bacteria are all necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.
B. Protein from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.
C. DNA from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.
D. RNA from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.

Answer:

The answer is C. DNA from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.

Explanation:

When heat-killed nonvirulent S bacteria will be treated with enzymes that degraded DNA it will destroy the genetic information required for cell survival. DNA is very essential for an organism and is called the molecule of life. DNA degradation is also a part of cell death called apoptosis. That's why all the samples grew except the one where DNA was enzymatically degraded.

The centromere is a region in which A) new spindle microtubules form. B) chromatids are attached to one another. C) the nucleus
mafiozo [28]
<h2>Option (B) is Right Answer</h2>

Explanation:

    (B) chromatids are attached to one another

  • <em>The linkage between the sister chromatids </em>is particularly critical at centromeres because it ensures right <em>microtubule connection to the kinetochores </em>
  • In eukaryotes, a centromere is a district of DNA that is responsible for the development of the imitated chromosomes into the<em> two daughter cells during mitosis and meiosis</em>
  • There is one centromere on every <em>chromosome and centromeres are responsible for two major functions</em>
  • In eukaryotes, a centromere is a district of DNA that is responsible for the development of the imitated chromosomes into the  <em>two daughter cells  during mitosis and meiosis</em>

Small interfering RNA, also known as RNAi, is single-stranded RNA that binds to mRNA with a RNA-induced silencing complex protei
muminat

Answer:

The expression of the mRNA decreases.

Explanation:

The RNAi binds to some proteins forming a silencing complex. This complex binds to the target mRNA (of which the RNAi is complementary) and cleaves it (cuts it). The cell will detect the generated fragments of mRNA , recognize they are aberrant and will thus degrade them.

All in all, this mechanism silences (reduces) the expression of the mRNA, because it will be degraded instead of translated into protein.
