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.

Many mutations have been identified in the lac operon. A particular mutation in the CRP gene make the CRP protein bind to the Pl
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. + glucose, + lactose  = On

b. - glucose, - lactose  = Off

c. + glucose, - lactose  = Off

d. - glucose, + lactose = On

Explanation:

Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.

Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.

Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.

In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.

A scientist looks at lung tissue under a microscope. Which level of
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

D. Lung cells

Explanation:

There are many organizations of living things and parts of living things. From simplest to complex the levels are: cells, tissue, organ, system, organism. So, if you have lung tissue then the only simpler organization is cells. These are simpler because cells are what make up tissue, just as tissue makes up organs. Through the levels, the more simple something is then the smaller it is, relatively.

Which system consists of the body’s outer covering?
Anni [7]
It begins with cells, tissues, organs, organ system to organism. There are 11 organ systems that work collectively for an organism to function. Each organ is responsible for a different function and has its own structure. The organism system that consist of the body's outer covering is the integumentary system. It consist of skin, hair, nails, and endocrine glands; they are the protectors of the body. The environment such as UV rays are harmful and the skin, hair, nails, etc protect the body as needed.
