Hi,

Harshey and Chase did a great experimentation which was basically a two step experiment to prove that DNA and not proteins are the actual carriers of genetic information from parents to offspring.

  • In the first part of their experiment, they used bacteriophages (virus that eat bacteria). They used radioactively labeled sulphur(35S) medium to grow bacteriophages and observed that all the bacteriophages had proteins with radioactive sulphur(35S).
  • In the next step they allowed these phages to infect bacteria and to their surprise, they found that the bacteria did not had radioactively labeled sulphur in them because the coat of bacteriophage stays outside the body of bacteria when it attacks it. This proved that DNA not proteins were the hereditary material.
  • To make their results more reliable, they did a second experimentation in which, they marked the DNA of the phage with radioactive phosphorus 32P. After labeling DNA, they repeated the same experiment and this time, they found radioactive phosphorus inside the bacteria.

<em>This meant that the bacteria had DNA of phage entered inside them and this again proved that DNA not proteins are the hereditary material. You can see attached image for better understanding. </em>

Hope it help!

pishuonlain [190]

If people fail to conserve water then there will be increased sewage system failures.

Water conservation entails keeping water from assets like rain, wastewater, and snow melting using it for family and agricultural activities. Increased sewage gadget disasters can not preserve water as this water comes from toilets, sinks, bathing, laundry, etc. That is wastewater and contaminants ought to be eliminated from it to make it appropriate for reuse. Failure of sewage gadget will now no longer be capable of taking away pollution from this water and therefore this can not be reused.

<h3>What is a water sewage system?</h3>

These are 3 types of water sewage systems:

  1. separate system
  2. combined system
  3. partially separate system

Hence concluded that if people fail to conserve water then there will be  Increased sewage system failures.

Fill in the blanks with vocabulary and enzyme terms. All answers should be in lower case The two strands of the DNA are one stra
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

The two strands of the DNA are "assembled" to each other such as the end of the DNA strand will be 3' paired with a 5' end.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with "hydrogen" bonds.

In DNA, A binds with "T" and G binds with "C".

"DNA helicase" unwinds the DNA for replication to begin.

An RNA primer is created by enzyme "primase" which then supplies the "3′" hydroxyl group used by "DNA polymerase" to start adding DNA nucleotides.

The DNA strand is made from "5'" to "3'".

The "lagging" strand is made in short segments called okazaki fragments. The "leading" strand is made in one continuous piece.

After replication, the RNA primers are removed by enzyme "RNase H" and replaced with DNA nucleotides.

The enzyme "DNA ligase" seals the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone after the RNA primers are removed.

On linear chromosomes the enzyme "telomerase" extends the ends by creating a repeating sequence of nucleotides which helps prevent loss of genetic material with each replication.

Explanation:

The two strands of the DNA are "assembled" to each other such as the end of the DNA strand will be 3' paired with a 5' end. - The double helix structure of DNA is assembled following a 3' paired with a 5' end, this is called an  antiparallel arrangement which gives more stability to the DNA.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with "hydrogen" bonds. - This are weak bonds, however since they are numerous hydrogen bonds in DNA, they hold together the structure.

In DNA, A binds with "T" and G binds with "C". - This is called the base pairing rule or the Chargaff's rule.

"DNA helicase" unwinds the DNA for replication to begin. - DNA helicase catalyze the breaking down of the hydrogen bonds of the center of the strand.

An RNA primer is created by enzyme "primase" which then supplies the "3′" hydroxyl group used by "DNA polymerase" to start adding DNA nucleotides. - Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a RNA primer, a small sequence of RNA that marks the begging of the polymerization.

The DNA strand is made from "5'" to "3'". - DNA polymerase needs the 3′ hydroxyl group to start adding DNA nucleotides, adding nucleotides from its 5′ group.

The "lagging" strand is made in short segments called okazaki fragments. The "leading" strand is made in one continuous piece. - The leading strand is synthesized from 5' to 3', therefore the polymerization occurs continuously. The lagging strand is backwards, therefore okazaki fragments must be added.

After replication, the RNA primers are removed by enzyme "RNase H" and replaced with DNA nucleotides. - RNase H is an endogenous hydrolase, it catalyzes the removal of the RNA primers while DNA polymerase I fill the blanks with DNA.

The enzyme "DNA ligase" seals the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone after the RNA primers are removed. - As the name implies, DNA ligase facilitates the joining of DNA strands, such as the ones formed where the RNA primers where before.

On linear chromosomes the enzyme "telomerase" extends the ends by creating a repeating sequence of nucleotides which helps prevent loss of genetic material with each replication. - Telomerase, also known as terminal transferase, adds the repeating sequences (telomeres) in eukaryotic cells.

which part of the brain receives sensory stimuli and passes along the information to other parts of the brain?
sukhopar [10]

Assuming the options are:                                    (Thalamus)

brain stem

thalamus

cerebrum

hippocampus

The thalamus is a large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the diencephalon of the brain with several functions such as relaying of sensory signals, including motor signals to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.
