Avery's experiments showed that bacteria are transformed by “transforming principle” – DNA.

When Griffit in his experiments showed that R-strain bacteria (non-virulent) could be transformed by the heat-killed S bacteria, and become virulent, scientists assumed that there is some kind of “transforming principle” that is involved.

Avery and his colleagues cultured heat-killed S cells and tried t separate cellular components that could possibly be that “transforming principle”. Molecule of DNA gave positive result in a chemical test and also when enzymes able to degrade DNA were introduced, the transforming activity was eliminated.

If a tRNA molecule has an anticodon which reads Aug what was the codon of the mRNA molecule
jenyasd209 [6]
The answer is UAC.

In the RNA, base complements are adenine - uracil (A-U) and guanine -cytosine (G-C). So, when in the process of translation, anticodons of tRNA pairs with codons of mRNA, the complementary bases will pair. So, adenine in tRNA will pair uracil in mRNA (A → U), uracil in tRNA will pair adenine in mRNA (U → A), and guanine <span>in tRNA will pair cytosine in mRNA (G </span>→ C):
tRNA:      A U G
mRNA:    U A C

Describe the three stages of transcription: initiation, elongation, and termination.
ch4aika [34]

Transcription is the process by which RNA (nucleic acid that is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA ) is synthesized from the genetic information contained in the coding regions of DNA. Therefore, a copy of complementary RNA and antiparallel to the DNA sequence that was transcribed is obtained. Normally organism synthesize RNA by a reaction catalyzed by RNA polymerases (they are enzymes that are involved in the process of DNA replication).

Transcription occurs in three steps: initiation, elongation and termination.

Initiation: Is the beginning of transcription. It occurs when the RNA polymerase enzyme binds to a region of a gene called a promoter. This tells the DNA to unwind so that enzyme can 'read' the bases in one of the strands of DNA. The enzyme is now ready to create a strand of mRNA (it is a single stranded RNA molecule, complementary to one of the DNA strands of a gene) with a complementary base of bases.

Elongation: Is the addition of nucleotides to the mRNA strand. The RNA polymerase reads the unwound strand of DNA and builds the mRNA molecule, using complementary base pairs. THere is a brief moment during this process when the new RNA molecule is bound to the unwound DNA. During this process, an adenine in the DNA binds to an uracil in the RNA.

Termination: Is the term of transcription and occurs when RNA polymerase crosses a termination sequence in the gene. The mRNA strand is complete and separated from the DNA.

4.1. In Seminar 6 we counted the number of stems (tree trunks) as a measure of species
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

A researcher would chose percentage cover over stem count because percentage cover is a less time consuming process and easy to calculate in case of species having number of clones.

Advantages of stem count:

  • It gives exact number of individual present in the population.

Advantages of percentage area count:

  • It gives the total surface area covered by the species and is less hectic.
