A scientist inserts a radioactively labeled DNA molecule into a bacterium. The bacterium replicates this DNA molecule and distri

butes one daughter molecule (double helix) to each of two daughter cells. How much radioactivity will the DNA in each of the two daughter cells contain? Why?

Answer:

DNA in each of the two daughter cells would have half of the radioactivity as compared to the radioactivity of the DNA of parent bacterium

Explanation:

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process and each of the newly formed double helices contains one parental strand and one newly formed DNA strand. The parent bacterium had both of its DNA strands radio-labeled. Replication of the parent DNA would form two DNA double helices each of which would contain one radio-labeled parental strand and one non-labeled newly formed DNA strand. Therefore, DNA of each daughter cell would exhibit half the radioactivity as that of the parental DNA.

Answer:

You would have to change your hypothesis.

Explanation:

Experiments can always go "wrong", but they are important because they provide evidence that maybe is not the fertilizer the variable that is influencing plant growth. After this you could change the experiment taking into account new variables such as pH, amount of water or sunlight etc.

Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
stealth61 [152]
The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.

However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs.
