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

Biology

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.

TWENTY FIVE POINTS!! What do the variables in the Hardy-Weinberg equation represent? Match the tiles.
Tomtit [17]

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is used to characterize the distribution of the different genotype frequencies in a population which are not evolving. In the Hardy-Weinberg equation,

the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype is denoted by p^{2};

the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype is denoted by q^{2};

the frequency of the heterozygous genotype is denoted by 2pq;

the frequency of the recessive allele is denoted by q;

the frequency of the dominant allele is denoted by p.

Read the scenario.
babunello [35]

Answer:

The cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.

Explanation:

We have, A cyclist starts at a position of origin. He takes 3 s to move east to a position of +8 m. He then cycles west to a position of +5 m which takes an additional 2 s.

It is required to find the cyclist’s displacement. Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it or it is given by the difference of final to the initial position.

Finally, he cycles west to a position of +5 m. Distance between final and initial position is +5 m.

Hence, the cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.

Which is a closed system.a tree, a human ,a clock , or a car
melomori [17]
A closed system is a system that makes no physical or chemical exchanges with its environment. Of these systems provided as choices (tree, human, clock, car), only a clock does not make exchanges with the environment, except for energy.
Therefore, of that list, only a clock would be a closed system.
Hope that helped! =)

sineoko [7]
The lateral line system provides tactile sense organs ( that is from cyclostome fishes to amphibians or the aquatic vertebrates) with a sense of distant touch, enabling these animals to sense objects that reflect pressure waves and low-frequency vibration. This system made up of multiple of neuromasts.
