Answer:

The Hershey–Chase experiment in 1952 confirmed that DNA (rather than protein) is the genetic material of the viruses that infect bacteria, providing further evidence that DNA is the molecule responsible for inheritance.

What do we call the process where part of the DNA is saved during replication?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.

Explanation:

During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied during the cell division cycle. During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus of a cell during the s stage of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.

Sketch space filling models of a hydrogen molecule and carbon dioxide

Aleks04 [339]

<span>The space-filling model of a hydrogen molecule would be something like OO , two circles stuck to each other, even squished a little bit. The model for carbon dioxide would be like OOO, with the two circles on the sides a little bigger and squished into the middle circle. </span>

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1. DNA

2. Nucleus

3. mRNA

4. Transcription

5. Nucleus

6. mRNA

7. Cytoplasm

8. Ribosome

9. Translation

10. anti-codons

11. codon

12. amino acids

13. protein

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA hold all the instructions that make up an organism. It determines the physical structure and even the function of the different cells that make up all organisms.

The DNA are all stored in the NUCLEUS of cells. Typically, eukaryotic cells have a nucleus except red blood cells. The nucleus has a nuclear envelope that keeps the DNA stored inside but it has nuclear pores that allows it to interact with the cytoplasm.

In order for DNA to be replicated, it needs to be turned into messenger RNA, otherwise known as mRNA. The mRNA decodes the DNA in order for the cell to use the code. The process is called transcription.

Transcription is done within the nucleus. Before the cell can understand what to do with DNA, mRNA transcribes to know what information it needs to produce specidic proteins.

Once transcription is done, it will then bring the information out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is the viscous gel-like solution that holds the organelles of the cell. In the cytoplasm you have ribsomes.

Ribosomes is where protein synthesis takes place, this is why it is called the protein factory of the cell. It is a molecule that is made up of ribosomal RNA, which direct the chemical processes involved in protein synthesis. For protein synthesis to happen, it will need another type of RNA, which is the tRNA.

tRNA is transfer RNA and they translate the mRNA sequence into proteins. tRNA have amino acids attached to it.

Each 3 bases of the mRNA are collectively known as codons. These codons correspond with specific tRNA that hold the anticodons. These anticodons code for specific amino acids that they also hold.

When they pair up, the tRNA drop off the amino acid which form a chain with the other tRNA amino acids that complete the code. These chain of monomers then make the protein specific to the DNA code that was copied in the beginning.

This bonds to cytosine (C) in DNA.

shtirl [24]

Answer: <u>Guanine </u>

According to Chargaff's rule, the base pairing in the DNA and RNA is fixed. Adenine always pairs with Thymine in DNA and Uracil in RNA. Guanine pairs up with cytosine. This complementary base pairing is universal and constant. That's why amounts are also equal. It means if cytosine is 20% in any DNA sample, then amount of guanine would be 20% as well.
