Metals conduct electricity and heat, indicating that the electrons are free to move. Metals are malleable, showing that atoms are not in fixed positions but can remain bonded even though they change their positions. In metallic bonding, atoms donate electrons to a pool and all the atoms share in the pool. No compounds are formed, but the atoms are bonded into a network.
Answer:
a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules
Explanation:
Kinetochores have vvery important role in the cell division-mitosis.
During the metaphase of mitosis, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Some of the microtubules bind to kinetochore (kinetochore microtubules) while other don’t: they connect with the microtubules from the opposite pole, stabilizing the spindle.
During the anaphase, kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles, helping the sister chromatids separate from each other.
Answer:
A. The prism's index of refraction for violet light is greater than 1.35.
Explanation:
Answer:
c. ¼ heavy, ¾ light
Explanation:
DNA replication follows semi conservative model which means that both the strands separate during replication and the newly formed DNA molecule has one old and one new strand. If instead of semi conservative, conservative mechanism is used, old strands will not separate from each other and the two newly synthesised DNA strands will come together to form a DNA molecule.
Here the cells were first grown in heavy 15N medium so all the DNA molecules had 15N and thus were heavy. Then the cells were transferred to 14N medium where only lighter 14N were available for replication process.
In first generation, 14N DNA molecules were synthesised from 15N DNA molecules so 1/2 DNA molecules were 15N and other half were 14N. In the second generation, 14N molecules will give rise to new 14N molecules and 15N molecules will also give rise to 14N molecules hence 1/4 molecules will be 15N (heavy) and 3/4 will be 14N (light).
