Suppose thymidine labeled with carbon-14 was added to a culture of bacteria and allowed to incubate for 20 minutes (one generati

on time). The DNA molecules were then isolated from the bacterial cells. If DNA replication is semiconservative, what would you observe about these molecules?

Answer:

One strand of all the isolated DNA double helices would have C-14 labeled thymidine.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a semiconservative process which means that each newly formed DNA double helix contains one parental strand and one newly formed strand.

Since the medium has thymidine labeled with C-14, all the newly formed strands formed during DNA replication would have radio-labeled thymidine.

Therefore, by the end of 20 minutes, one out of two strands on each double helix would have labeled thymidine nucleotides.

Which one of the following statements holds true for the induced-fit model? Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate mole
muminat
<span>Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, structural changes can occur in the active site to accommodate the product. This structural change lowers the activations energy and increases the rate of the reaction. The active site changes its shape until an enzyme-substrate complex is formed and activated.</span>

Repeated exposure to the same stimulus ______ leads to _____ sensitivity in our sensory systems.
Rom4ik [11]
The correct answers are "sometimes, no change or reduced".

If our sensory systems are exposed to the same exact stimulus repeatedly, sometimes it causes our sensory systems to react and sometimes it has no effect. In some cases, it may have a reduction of sensitivity, but sometimes it has no effect to our sensory systems.
