Using the help of the semi conservative replication of DNA, What is the role of a single strand of DNA ?

Answer:

In the semi-conservative method of DNA replication, each of the strands of the double helix acts as a template for replication.

Explanation:

Semi-conservative DNA Replication:

  • Semi-conservative DNA replication produces two daughter helices from the original parent helix. One strand of the daughter helix is form the original template while the other is newly synthesized.
  • This means that one strand will have the base sequence identical to the parent, while the other will be complementary to the template.
  • This model was experimentally confirmed by an experiment conducted in 1958 by Meselson and Stahl. They used radioactive isotope of nitrogen i.e. N-14 or N-15. DNA molecules made with N-15 were allowed to replicate in the presence of N-14.
  • After first replication, DNA molecules contained both N-15 and N-14 isotopes, disproving the conservative model that stated that the new helices are completely identical to the template.
  • The second replication yielded only N-14 which disproved the dispersive model that the new helices are a combination of both the template and new strands.

Answer:

A. Lancelet

B. All chordates

Explanation:

A. Dorsal nerve chord is the only <u>unique feature</u> among all members of <u>phylum chordata</u> (mainly found in subphylum Vertebrata). In the given list, only lacelet is the Chordate whereas <u>snail belongs to phylum Mollusca</u>, <u>grasshopper belongs to Arthropda</u>, and <u>jellyfish belongs to Cnidaria</u>. Dorsal nerve cord runs along the length of organism's body.

B. <u>Gill slits</u> are <u>opening structures</u> to gills through which water passes from pharynx/throat to exterior. Their main purpose is to help filter the food particles available in surrounding water. Although they are typical for amphibians and fishes, chordates also possess gill slits at embryonic stages.

Pie

Answer:

Following Statements are true.

1. Cells receive molecular signals that communicate their position in relation to other cells.

3. Differential gene expression affects the developmental process in animals.

4. Positional information controls pattern formation.

6. Homeotic genes code for transcription factors that control the development of segment-specific body parts.

Explanation:

The formation of an eukaryotic organisms's spatial organization which includes organ formation and tissue arrangement is called as Pattern formation.

Molecular signals are received by cell. This phenomenon collectively refereed as positional information. Through this phenomenon cells are informed about their locomotion with respect to body axes and other cells. Regulation of pattern formation is controlled by Positional information.

When body axes is established a gene called homeotic gene start working as regulatory genes. This gene identify specific body segment in an organism which results in the formation of segment-specific body structures in the correct locations on the body.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

(B) Interstitial fluid

Explanation:

The interstitial fluid and blood plasma together make the extracellular fluid. The extracellular fluids are present outside the cells. The extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues is known as interstitial fluid. When a substance moves from blood plasma into the cells of a tissue, it crosses the interstitial fluid present between its cells. Therefore, when a skeletal muscle cell picks glucose molecules from blood plasma, it moves from plasma to the interstitial fluid to enter the cell.
