Two students decide to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment with modifications. They decide to label the nitrogen of the DNA,

rather than the phosphate. They reasoned that every nucleotide has only 1 phosphate, but 2-5 to nitrogens so labeling the nitrogens would provide a stronger signal than labeling the phosphates. Why will this experiment fail to show what Hershey and Chase showed?

Answer:

radioactivity will not be able to tell the difference between the DNA and proteins

Explanation:

It seems that the experiment will fail to show what Hershey and Chase showed because they modify some of the aspects. These modifications will cause changes to the results, the main one being that radioactivity will not be able to tell the difference between the DNA and proteins. This is because Amino Acids are proteins that also contain nitrogen atoms, thus labeling the nitrogen would include all DNA and proteins. This being the main reason why Hershey and Chase decided to label the DNA instead.

Suppose the rate of plant growth on isle royale supports an equilibrium moose population of 850 moose in this scenario there are
lesya692 [45]

The population of moose will still be around 850 in 30 years.

<h3>What is carring capacity?</h3>

Carrying capacity is the number of individuals that an environment can support without significant negative impacts to the organism and its environment.

With that being said, the moose population size will be same or still 850 after 30 years. Rate of plant growth on isle Royale supported in equilibrium moose population of 850 moose and if there will more 200 mooses arrived then there will be no sufficient plants available to feed those additional mooses. This is the concept of carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is defined as the species average population size in particular habitat. Species population size is restricted by environmental factor like food, shelter, etc. If number of mooses will be increased in particular habitat and plants are limited ,then there will be strong competition between them, which results in survival of the fittest.

So when population size increases on Isle Royale,may be in beginning, for a while there will be sufficient plants to feed those additional 200 mooses, but after some time plant population will reduce and there will be not enough plants to feed all of the mooses. And if needs are not met, population will decreases which allows plants to grow in normal population to feed 850 mooses. So, after 30 years moose population size would be around 850 mooses.

Neurotransmitters are ________. Group of answer choices chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another n
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron

found only in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are defined as the chemicals that is transported from a nerve cell across the synaptic gap to the receptor of another neuron or a target cell such as a gland cell or a muscle cell.

Neurotransmitters are generated in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and are stored in synaptic vesicles.

"Hence, the correct answer is:

chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron

found only in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)".
