Answer:

Before Frederick Griffith’s “transforming principle” experiment using bacteria, scientists in the early 1900s believed proteins carried the genetic material. They had not yet identified that DNA was responsible for it. Oswald Avery’s and Hershey and Chase’s experiments following Griffith’s, helped determine DNA as the genetic material.

What is the name of the process by which the cytoplasm divides in two?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Cytokinesis

Explanation:

All living cells undergo division, it is the method employed in duplicating themselves. The division of cells involves two major processes viz; karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

Karyokinensis involves the division of the genetic material (DNA) in the nucleus. The chromosomes are initially separated into opposite poles/ends inside the cell. After which the cytoplasm of the whole cell then separates resulting in two daughter cells each having its own genetic material. This process is called CYTOKINESIS.

Although CYTOKINESIS occurs in all eukarotes and prokaryotes, the way it occurs in the eukaryotic plant and animal cells differ in the sense that, in animals, it occurs with the formation of a cleavage furrow as a result of pinching inward of the cell membrane until the two daughter cells form while in plants, a cell plate is formed at the cell's centre and a new membrabe and cell wall is formed around each cell plate.

How does the precision of measurements affect the precision of scientific calculations?
juin [17]
<span>The precision of scientific calculations is limited by the measurement that's the least precise out of all the measurements used in the calculation. When considering significant figures, the last answer should have the least significant figures out of all the measurements that entered into account and were able to be done with the most significant figures that could be directly measured. So, as more precise we are in measurements, more precise can be the final answer to a scientific calculation.</span>
