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.

the data collected over the years clearly confirm depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. what do scientists still need to learn
Lisa [10]

<span>Ozone is simply a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms, which reacts strongly with other molecules. Ozone is created in the stratosphere when high energy uv radiation causes on O2 molecule to split. The free oxygen atoms collide and react with other O2 molecules to form O3.</span>

Production is highest where the solar uv is the greatest eg near the tropics, but once created, the ozone is then circulated towards the poles by the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere can vary with location, season and even day to day climatic conditions.

<span>The process of ozone creation is what makes the O3 in the atmosphere very effective at shielding the Earth from harmful uv radiation, which can cause many biological problems, such as skin cancer. However, due to its high reactivity, the uv found in the tropospher at ground level can aslo be dangerous as a toxic pollutant which is harmful to plants and lung tissue, and is a major cause of smog.</span>
