Researchers performed an experiment to investigate DNA replication. First, they synthesized radioactively-labeled nucleotides, w

hich are nucleotides that contain radioactive elements that allow them to be visualized. Then, they inserted the radioactively-labeled nucleotides into a cell. When the cell divided, it incorporated the radioactively-labeled nucleotides into its DNA during DNA replication.
The following image shows the cell's DNA before and after replication. The original DNA strands are shown in blue and the DNA strands with the radioactively-labeled nucleotides are shown in orange.


Which statement is best supported by the results of this experiment?

Answer:

DNA replication is a semiconservative process.

Explanation:

The DNA molecule is made of two chains (or two strands), also called double-stranded (two chains).

There is complementarity of nucleotides or nitrogen bases:

- Thymine with Adenine,

- Guanine with Cytosine.

This DNA molecule is duplicated. For this, locally, we have an opening of these two chains by enzymes. We speak of enzymatic complex. This set of enzymes comes to open both strands of DNA. After opening the two strands, in the nucleus, there are several free nucleotides which bind to the template strand by complementarity.

We had a single molecule of DNA, we then had two. The two chromatids (or the two DNA helices) are therefore sister, because they are strictly identical. We speak of a semi-conservative replication because we keep one of the two matrix strands to copy identically its complementary, thanks to the complementarity of nucleotides or nitrogenous bases.

Organisms may play only one role in an ecosystem true or false
anyanavicka [17]
This is false. Organisms may play several important roles in an ecosystem. Consider for example and ocean shore environment occupied by a particular species of crab. The crabs are scavengers and eat any organic matter they encounter. They therefore play an important role in the cycling of nutrients in the ecosystem. The crabs are however also an important source of food for a range of other species occupying the same habitat, including octopi, certain fishes and sea otters. Therefore, the crabs are an important part of the food web in the ecosystem. Many species similarly occupy multiple important roles in an ecosystem.

The client has had asymptomatic sinus bradycardia with a rate of 56 beats/min. the nurse notes the rate has dropped to 46 beats/
lisabon 2012 [21]
I think the nurse should asses the blood pressure, skin color, and moisture. Sinus bradycardia may be defined as a sinus rhythm with resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less. However few patients become symptomatic until their heart rate drops to less than 50 beats per minute. Intervention for sinuses bradycardia should be based on assessment of the clients condition. The patient may remain asymptomatic, the nurse may choose to increase the IV flow rate, administer atropine, or notify the Rapid Response Team depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Vertebrate immune cells, which are phagocytic, include ________. i) neutrophils ii) macrophages iii) dendritic cells iv) natural
Vikentia [17]
Macrophages

Using the receptors on their surface and through the facilitation by immunoglobulins that attach to the foreign matter, macrophages 'hold' the foreign bodies in the body and 'ingest' them through phagocytosis. Lysozymes in the cells then in 'digest' the foreign matter.
