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.

20. Process through which pollutants get increasingly more concentrated each step up the food chain.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

bioaccumulation of chemicals is the problem concerning all living organisms. This is the result of dynamic equilibrium between the uptake and elimination. The extent to which bioaccumulation occurs determines the toxic effects which are manifested. In some cases, the mechanisms of protection from certain undesirable substances deposited in special sites, to prevent their participation in the metabolic reactions, have evolved. The knowledge on bioaccumulation enables to assess the risk related with the presence of various chemicals in the environment, food, and at workplace and to present quantitatively the ability to control the use and emissions of chemicals.

If the somatic cells of a spotted skunk have 64 chromosomes, then the cells produced after meiosis will have 32 chromosomes.
SVEN [57.7K]
It would be TRUE
because in meiosis the number of chromosomes becomes half so 64/2 would be 32
