Suppose you are given a new temperature sensitive bacterial mutant that grows normally at 37 degrees c but cannot replicate its

chromosomes properly at 42
c. to investigate the nature of the underlying defect, you incubate the cells at 42 c with radioactive substrates required for dna synthesis. after one hour you find that the cell population has doubled its dna content, suggesting that dna replication can still occur at 42
c. moreover, centrifugation reveals that all of this dna has the same large molecular weight as does the original dna present in the cells. when the dna is denatured, however, you discover that 75% of the resulting single stranded dna has a molecular weight that is half that of the original double-stranded dna, and the remaining 25% of the dna has a much lower molecular weight. based on the preceding results, what gene do you think is defective in these cells?

Help real quick<br>After reading &amp; the video, in your own words, explain how a muscle contracts​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Muscle contraction occurs when the thin actin and thick myosin filaments slide past each other. It is generally assumed that this process is driven by cross-bridges which extend from the myosin filaments and cyclically interact with the actin filaments as ATP is hydrolysed.

During the clinical death phase, the individual's regular heartbeat disintegrates, causing muscle spasms and gasping. resuscitat
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Heartbeat, circulation, breathing, and brain functioning stop.

Explanation:

Clinical death is the medical term used for the <em>cessation of cardiac function (heartbeat and  therefore circulation) and breathing.</em> <em>It can be reversible with resuscitation,</em> but it has limits, one of these is relative to the brain, more than 3 minutes of clinical death can damage it irreversibly <em>causing brain death as well.</em>

Considering this information we can conclude that the correct answer is "heartbeat, circulation, breathing, and brain functioning stop"

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
