Why is DNA replication describe as semiconservative

Biology
1 answer:
padilas [110]3 years ago
8 0
Semiconservative DNA replication is a mechanism of DNA replication which results in two copies of DNA, each consisting of one parental DNA strand and one newly synthesized. Each strand of DNA helix serves as a template for new strands. The new strand remains associated with template strand.
Oppositely, in conservative DNA replication, each strand of DNA helix serves as a template for new strands, but new strands separate from template strands and associate into new DNA, so one DNA copy has both original strands, and another one has both new strands.

Explanation:

The strain dies when exposed to a normal laboratory atmosphere instead of nitrogen gas atmosphere because the mutation causes change in the capability of the strain to survive in the aerobic conditions. This mutation inactivate several enzymes which is also responsible for their capabilities of surviving under both anaerobic and aerobic environment so that's why the strain dies when exposed to normal atmosphere..

If you are on the fourth trophic evel, what percentage of energy are you setting from the producers?
elena-s [515]

We know, only 10% of energy transferred from each trophic level. Plant can capture 1% energy from the sun. According 10% law only 10% energy transfer to next level. Thus if plant has 1%- trophic level 2 will have 0.1%; then third trophic level will have 0.01% and we human if we are on fourth level then we will have 0.001%.

Thus correct answer is 0.001%.

Movement of chromosome segment to a non-homologous chromosome. This type of chromosomal mutation occurs when one chromosome swap
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''Translocation​.''  

Explanation:

Translocation is a chromosomal abnormality that is due to a change in position of a chromosomal segment to another non-homologous chromosome of the same nucleus or to another part of it. It is produced by the exchange of segments between two chromosomes without loss of genetic material is called reciprocal or balanced translocation, when it gives rise to monocentric chromosomes.Translocations can be detected cytologically because the structural heterozygote forms a quadrivalent (4-chromosome association) in meiotic prophase. Sometimes they can also be detected by changes in the size of the chromosomes if the exchanged segments are of different lengths.
