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.

Why is scientific knowledge more reliable than other types of knowledge?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

D. Because science only uses facts that are proven 100% true through the use of  variables.

Explanation:

All the knowledge we read is science books are not merely some observed facts but the result of a systematic scientific methodology through which facts are tested. Science only gives us that knowledge as facts which is  proven 100% true through the use of  variables.For example: if a scientist has studied the effect of salt stress on the growth of plants and he got the results in form of graphs which show that growth of salt treated plants in very less than normal plants. Then he needs to draw conclusion after consulting relevant previous experiments and say that salt stress hinders growth and why? with reasonable logic.

Variables are the things hat he changes like environmental conditions in previous example to see that in changed conditions plant is showing changed behavior. This way a scientist strengthens his results. Therefore, we can say that whatever knowledge we get through science is proven 100% true through the use of  variables.
