How do index fossils help scientists?
krek1111 [17]
Answer: Index fossils are used to identify layers of rocks. The layers will form an arrangement that relates to their age. In simpler terms, a layer that contains fossils are unique to that certain layer.
Index fossils are fossils that are mostly used by scientists due to it being easily found anywhere around the world and in abundant amounts. It can also be easily identified since they are fossils of widely varied organisms that lived during one short time period.

Enzyme found in retroviruses that produce dna from an rna template. True or False
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

<h2>True</h2>

Explanation:

1 .Reverse transcriptase (RT) is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase enzyme which makes DNA from RNA..  

2. RT makes double-stranded DNA molecules from ssRNA ( single stranded RNA) molecule using it as a template.

3. Retroviruses like  HIV contain Reverse transcpritase (RT) enzyme, which uses the RNA molecule as template and make DNA from it and after that, virus make multiple copies of itself.

4. Reverse transcriptase enzyme make DNA reverse transcrptionally from RNA the process known as RNA dependent DNA polymerase.

5. It was  first discovered in retroviruses.

Meselson and Stahl used density labeling of DNA to show that DNA replication occurs via a semiconservative mechanism. In their e
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

  • The organism previously used 15N for replication so all the DNA molecules were of 15N15N type. Then the organism is shifted to a medium where only 14N is available for replication.
  • According to semi conservative mode of replication, a newly synthesised DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one parental strand. So after the first round of replication, All the 15N strands will synthesise new DNA strands using 14N resulting into intermediate 15N14N DNA molecules. Hence, only one band would be observed (15N14N) above the original 15N15N band since 15N14N has lighter isotope too so it will be lighter than 15N15N molecules and will lie above it.
  • After second round of replication, 15N strand from 15N14N would synthesise another 14N strand. 14N strand from 15N14N molecules will also synthesise another 14N strand. So now, 50% of the DNA molecules will be of 15N14N intermediate type and 50% of them will be of 14N14N type.Two bands will be observed above the original 15N15N band. One band of 15N14N molecules will be right above it and other band of 14N14N molecules will be even higher because it is the lightest band since it has only the lighter isotope of nitrogen.
