Answer:

Explanation:

A. The bacteria DNA will contain most of the radioactivity. The reason is that the DNA is made up of a sugar phosphate backbone which forms its structural framework. One grinding up the bacteria, the radioactive phosphate will likely react with the DNA.

B. In the second instance, the proteins will contain the radioactivity this is because, the DNA does not have any reaction with sulphur, on the other hand, proteins contain about 3 - 6% sulphur.

Nataly_w [17]


They are composed of long chains of amino acids.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Amino acids are organic molecules made up an alpha (center) carbon atom which is linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and  a variable component  known as a side chain.

Amino acids are joined to each other by peptide bonds  to form either a short chain called an oligopeptide or  a long chain called a polypeptide.  These chains are what forms the protein.

From an evolutionary perspective mitochondria and chloroplasts are the result of what process
fomenos

<span>Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the result of the process called endosymbiosis. Mitochondria and the chloroplasts are originally from the prokaryotes. They have the ability to take up inside a large single cell organism which they help each other in order to produce energy for each other. Endosymbiosis, from the term symbiosis, the organisms that are symbiotic is living inside the other pair, just like how the mitochondria and chloroplasts responds to each other.</span>
