The data obtained from the meselson–stahl experiment after one generation of replication eliminated the dispersive model of dna

Answer:

<h2>False</h2>

Explanation:

Meselson-stahl experiment: The experiment done by Meselson and Stahl demonstrated that DNA replicated semi-conservatively, meaning that each strand in a DNA molecule serves as a template while DNA replication for synthesis of a new, complementary strand.

The conservative model was eliminated because according to it, there would be 2 bands, one representing the parental DNA at one density and other representing the daughter DNA at a different density. The result from the Meselson–Stahl experiment after one generation was consistent with both the semi-conservative as well the dispersive model.

<h2>Given statement is false</h2>

Explanation:

According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA

Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria

  • E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
  • It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
  • Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
  • They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
  • This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
  • Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
  • Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
  • Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment

Which statement best describes the evolutionary significance of mutualism?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

C) Interaction increases the survival and reproductive rates of mutualistic species.

Explanation:

A) Mutualism offer more biodiversity to a community.

    Biodiversity is the different species living in one environment. Since mutualism is only involving two species, it wouldn't increase the biodiversity of one ecosystem, making it incorrect.

B) Individuals partaking in a mutualistic relationship relationship are more resistant to parasites.

    Mutualism is only benefiting two species, not their immunity to diseases and parasites. These two have no correlation with each other, making it incorrect.

D) Mutualistic interaction lessens competition in communities where it is present.

    Since mutualism is only benefiting two species, they have no correlation since the relationship doesn't affect the different species in the environment.

E) Mutualistic relationships allow organisms to synthesize and use energy more efficiently.

    Although there could be some relationships involving energy transfer between the species, that would sound more like commensalism or even paratsitism if you think about it. However, it is very uncommon and usually energy has no relationship with species relationships, making it incorrect.

Hope this helps! My deepest apologies if I got in incorrect!

Small insects such as the water strider can walk on water because their weight is not enough to penetrate the water's surface.
White raven [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Surface tension allows a water strider to "walk on water"

Water striders are able to walk on top of water due to a combination of several factors. Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water. ( :

Why is it hard to say whether viruses are alive or not
MissTica
"Viruses straddle the definition of life. They lie somewhere between supra molecular complexes and very simple biological entities. Viruses contain some of the structures and exhibit some of the activities that are common to organic life, but they are missing many of the others. In general, viruses are entirely composed of a single strand of genetic information encased within a protein capsule. Viruses lack most of the internal structure and machinery which characterize 'life', including the biosynthetic machinery that is necessary for reproduction. In order for a virus to replicate it must infect a suitable host cell".
