The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the  Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

Considering that males can have Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome, XYY, and normal XY chromosomal combinations, and females can have Tu
mestny [16]

Answer:

C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome

Explanation:

  • From the given question, it can be clearly observed that in males irrespective of whichever syndrome they have a Y chromosome is always present whereas in females Y chromosome is not present.
  • Hence, one cal conclude that whenever the Y chromosome is present the individual acquires male characters.
  • The Y chromosome whenever present produces the hormones that leads to maleness, and the number of Y chromosomes in males can also be more than  one such as in case of XYY Klinefelter syndrome.

Match the prokaryotic cell structures to the characteristic of life.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1. Nucleoid: Prokaryotes do not have well defined nucleus. Instead, naked DNA or genetic material is found in the these cells which keeps floating freely in the region of cytoplasm called as mucleoid (nucleus-like). DNA carries the genetic information required for growth, development, metabolic activities and reproduction.

Hence, it must match with b. reproduction: DNA ensures that future generations will be similar to parents

2. Cell wall: Cell wall is the outermost layer surrounding the plasma membrane. It is composed of polysaccharides and is found in bacteria, fungi, and plant cells. In bacteria, it is generally composed of peptidoglycans. Antibiotic such as penicillin acts on the cell wall and creates pores in it which kills the bacteria.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with d. homeostasis: taking an antibiotic, such as penicillin, creates holes in the cell wall of some bacteria, so they lose water and die

3. Flagellum: It is a thread or hair like structure which serves the purpose of locomotion in the cells specially in bacteria, protozoa, spermatozoa etc. In bacteria, it helps in moving in the direction of food and moving away from inhospitable environment.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with e. responding to stimuli: move away from a less hospitable environment or towards a more hospitable environment.

4. Pilus: It is a hair like but rigid structure that protrude from the cell surface of the bacteria. It helps in the process of conjugation by forming a conncetion between cell surface of two bacteria.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with a. reproduction: exchanging genetic material in process of conjugation

5. Ribosomes: Ribosomes serve as the site of protein synthesis in the cell. Bacterial ribosomes are composed of two sub-units with sedimentary constant of 50S and 30S.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with c. maintaining homeostasis: protein is needed for enzymes and repairing structures

6. Cytoplasm: It is gel like material found within the cell (excluding nucleus in case of eukaryotes). All the metabolic activities of the cell generally take place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with f. homeostasis: using energy, all chemical reactions are performed in the cytoplasm
