Using the help of the semi concevative 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.

* The attached image compares the three proposed models for DNA replication.

Six centromeres are observed in a prophase cell from an insect,how many pairs of chromosomes are present​
gulaghasi [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Six centromeres are observed in a prophase cell from an insect, there are </em><u><em>20 pairs of chromosomes present</em></u><em>. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Centromeres is defined as the part of the DNA</em> which are held responsible for the directional changing of chromosomes.

And these chromosome gets divided into <em>2 daughter cells while undergoing the process of mitosis and meiosis. </em>

<em>Chromosome is basically defined as a thin structure</em> as of a threadlike which is made out of nuclei acid and protein which is <em>located at the nucleus of various living cells</em>

Why is their no oxygen in space
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

This is because there is no air in space – it is a vacuum. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum. ... Even the emptiest parts of space contain at least a few hundred atoms or molecules per cubic metre. Space is also filled with many forms of radiation that are dangerous to astronauts.

natita [175]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A. mature leaves
B. shoot apical meristem
C. cell elongation zone
<span>D. axillary buds
</span>
I think the correct answers are option B and D. It would be at the shoot apical meristem and the axillary buds that <span> a vascular plant would you expect to find totipotent cells. Hope this answers the question.</span>
