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

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.
