If you were to repeat the Meselson Stahl experiments, but rather than use N15 and N14, you use P32 and P31, how would the result

ing DNA bands present in the CsCl gradient change?
Remember the initial culturing of bacteria is in the heavy (H) isotope then moved to lighter (L) isotope.

(A) Only newly synthesized 'daughter strands would contain heavy P32
(B) No strands of DNA would incorporate light P31 as P is not used in the synthesis of nucleic acids.
(C) The banding pattern would not change and the results would be similar as if you had used N14 and N15
(D) You can't tell since Nitrogen and Phosphorus have different atomic masses, therefore, the relative positions of the resulting (HH, H:L and L:L) DNA bands would differ from what was observed in the Meselson Stahl experiment using heavy and light N.
(E) A and C are correct.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The CsCl gradient centrifugation in Meselson Stahl experiments is done to separate the bands of the DNA containing isotopes on the basis of difference in the density.

In the experiment, bacterial cultures were grown in the medium of 15N and 14N but if we repeat the experiment with P32 and P31 instead of 15N and 14N and centrifugation is performed then the banding pattern will be the same as of the previous experiment as the method of the replication is same that is semi-conservative.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

How secretion and excretion both are different? Explain in simple language.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Excretion is the removal of material from one living thing, for example. Humans excrete tears, sweat, carbon dioxide etc.

Secretion is the movement of material from one point to another, for example.  Humans secrete enzymes, hormones, saliva etc.

Basically in summary excretion is the removal of physical material and secretion is the movement of biological materials from one point to another.


I hope this was clear enough lol

Which safety practice should always be done at the beginning and the end of a microbiology lab
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

<em>Hand Washing</em> is one of the most important practices when it comes to avoid spreading germs due it helps removing microorganisms and potential pathogens that could be left on after regular activities which would alter the results of lab experiments, and also could easily remain after such lab experiments which could lead to the propagation of bacteria or harmful chemicals.
