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 second electron transport chain ends with a(n) ______ that creates NADPH.
mote1985 [20]
1. The right answer is enzymes
NADPH are molecules which are produced during reduction of metabolites (for example glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism...)

2. The right answer is enzymes.
<span>The dark reactions (carbon cycle) act by the reduction of carbon dioxides (CO2) to the level of a carbohydrate (like fructose).
</span>
3. The right answer is ATP.
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is a nucleotide of the purine family used to store and transport energy (purines are nitrogenous bases).

4. The right answer is the Calvin cycle.
The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in plant chloroplasts. The Calvin cycle makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.

5. The right answer is NADH
The overall assessment of glycolysis is:Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD + -----> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 H2O + 2 NADH
As we can see, the glycolysis produce indeed 2NADH from a reduction of metabolites during the process.

6. The right answer is Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the first chain of carbohydrate catabolism, it is carried out in the cytosol by soluble enzymes and anaerobically (without oxygen supply). Its function is the synthesis of a molecule rich in energy, as well as the formation of pyruvate which will have several destinies, including the Krebs cycle.
<span>The Krebs cycle (or tricarboxylic cycle or citric acid cycle) is the energy platform of the cell, continuing the catabolism of carbohydrates after glycolysis. It is realized in the mitochondrial matrix and is done exclusively in aerobic.</span>

Use Chargaff’s rules to predict the missing values for E. coli, human, and ox DNA. Round your answers to the nearest whole numbe
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

Explanation:

Chargaff's rules state that in a given DNA molecule the percentage of Adenine %A is approximately equals the percentage of Thymine %T and the percentage of Guanine %G is approximately equals the percentage of Cytosine %C.

Answer is

E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

Would it be easier for an investigator to change the outcome of differentiation if a cell used cytoplasmic determinants or induc
IrinaK [193]

The correct answer is: Induction, because this could be easily changed by changing the cell's environment.

Cell differentiation (process by which cell becomes specialized) can be under the influence of many factors:

• Cytoplasmic influence because cytoplasm can influence and control the behaviour of nuclear genes.

• Embryonic induction-changing the cell environment

For example: if cells from one region of the embryo are transplanted to some other region that transplant will most likely differentiate according to the chemical regulators of the surrounding cells.  

• Proteins present in a cell influences its differentiation

• Cell-Cell interactions via cell-cell adhesion and signalling molecules.
