Watson and Crick already knew that the number of purines is always the same as pyrimidines.

The scientists that contribute to discovery of DNA and its complete structure:

•  Friedrich Miescher-was the first who found DNA inside the nucleus (first it was called nuclein) while he was trying to discover the protein components of leukocytes (1869)

• Phoebus Levene- was the first who discovered three major components of a nucleotide (1919)

• Erwin Chargaff –discovered that the total amount of purines (A + G) and the total amount of pyrimidines (C + T) are nearly equal (Chargaff’s rule) (1950)

• Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, did an important X-ray crystallography work that contributed to Watson and Crick's discovery of double-helical model for the structure of DNA.

When sperm and ovum unite at conception, a(n) __________ results. autosome gamete zygote allele?
frosja888 [35]

Answer;

-Zygote

When sperm and ovum unite at conception, a zygote results.

Explanation;

-Conception occurs when a sperm cell from a fertile man swims up through the vagina and into the uterus of a woman and joins with the woman's egg cell (ovum) as it travels down one of the Fallopian tubes from the ovary to the uterus.

-A zygote is the union of the sperm cell and the ovum. Also known as a fertilized ovum, the zygote begins as a single cell but divides rapidly in the days following fertilization. After this two-week period of cell division, the zygote eventually becomes an embryo.

Explain how negative feedback affects the bodies hormones.
Vsevolod [243]

Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop. Hormonal stimuli refer to the release of a hormone in response to another hormone. A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine organs.
