The most important role of this peculiar double helix structure of DNA is to facilitate replication....in preparation of cell division each of the 2 strands acts as a template thus facilitating precise copying of genes....in the Nature(1953),

Answer:

According to the diagram, what is occurring in step 7 is cytokinesis, with the separation of two daughter cells, following cell division.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is a process that occurs at the end of mitosis or meiosis, being the final step of cell division. This mechanism allows the separation of the two daughter cells, with equal distribution of cytoplasm and formation of cell membrane, differentiating into two independent cells.

In the diagram it can be observed (step 7) that after the division process —in yellow— two arrows pointing to two cells are evident, which implies the process of cytokinesis.

Prior to the cytokinesis process, karyokinesis occurs, which is the separation of nuclei and formation of the nuclear membrane.

In animal cells, karyocinesis occurs by the effect of a ring of actin and myosin that helps to force the separation. In the plant cell, the fragmoplast is formed, a septum that induces the separation of the daughter cells.

The other options are not correct because:

Cell growth occurs in G1 phase.
Cell preparation occurs in interphase.
DNA replication occurs in S phase.
Mitosis is represented in yellow, and involves 4 phases.

What would happen to the fruit fly population in the locker if the apple were removed from that ecosystem?

Marina86 [1]

The fruit flys population would be less since the apples isn’t there anymore. The reasoning behind that is because it’s a fruit fly they like being around fruit.

Two students decide to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment with modifications. They decide to label the nitrogen of the DNA,

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

radioactivity will not be able to tell the difference between the DNA and proteins

Explanation:

It seems that the experiment will fail to show what Hershey and Chase showed because they modify some of the aspects. These modifications will cause changes to the results, the main one being that radioactivity will not be able to tell the difference between the DNA and proteins. This is because Amino Acids are proteins that also contain nitrogen atoms, thus labeling the nitrogen would include all DNA and proteins. This being the main reason why Hershey and Chase decided to label the DNA instead.
