Why is dna replication said to be semi-conservative

Biology
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
7 0

During DNA Replication, the DNA molecule unzips itself so that there are two free strands of DNA. Both of those strands then create new complementary strands of DNA. Thus every subsequent generation of DNA uses one of the parent cell's strand of DNA as a template, which is why DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative. Hope this helped!

Please help :( this is a really complicated question
Ratling [72]

Answer:

B. exponential growth.

Explanation:

Since the conditions are ideal and the reproducing organisms increase in numbers with every generation this means that it is exponentially growing. It can't be carrying capacity. It is not a logistic growth. And they don't have competition here so it can't be competition.

There are several ways to model a compound. One type of model is shown.
Crank

Answer:

I added a screenshot attachment of the formula!

Explanation:

Molecular formula : It is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Structural formula : It is a formula in which the lines are used between the bonded atoms and the atoms are also shown in the structural formula.

In the structural formula, the lines are used between the atoms.

As per given information of compound we conclude that, there are 4 carbon atoms, 9 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.

If a DNA molecule is found to be composed of 40% thymine, what percentage of guanine would be expected.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Chargaff postulated the complementary base pairing rule, where he stated that in the DNA molecule, Adenine (A) will always pair with Thymine (T) and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C) i.e. A-T, G-C

Chargaff stated that the concentration of purines (Adenine and Guanine) is always equal to that of pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine) i.e. {A} + {G} = {C} + {T}

These equal concentration equals 100% in totality i.e. A+G+C+T= 100%

Thymine pairs with Adenine, if there is 40% of Thymine in the DNA molecule, it means there will be 40% of Adenine also. 40 + 40 = 80%. This leaves us with 100-80 = 20% for Guanine and Cytosine.

Since there will be an equal amount of Guanine and Cytosine too, Guanine will therefore, be 20/2 = 10%.

That is, 10% Guanine, 10% Cytosine.

If brine shrimp eggs were transported on shorebirds feet from a hyper saline lake into a less salty one
blagie [28]
<span> If the Brine Shrimp eggs were transported from a hyper saline lake from a less salty like, they would most likely go into their dormant state and become cyst-like since they are adapted to the salinity levels of their previous environment. In turn, they would not be able to hatch, and then later on, reproduce, in order to expand their population and continue their species. </span>
