<span>Viruses are regarded as being on the borderline of living and non-living because it exhibits characteristics of both living and non-living organisms. Inside a host, the virus can act as a living organism using the host's cellular system while outside the host, the virus crystallizes that makes them incapable of conducting metabolic activities. </span>
A) DNA fulfils all three conditions:
<span>(1) copy itself precisely - in the process of replication, DNA copies itself and two molecules of DNA are formed. This process is very precise thanks to the great number of proteins involved in these process that prevents error occurring and proteins that can fix the error if it occurs.
(2) be stable but able to be changed - DNA is very stable molecule otherwise, it cannot be a genetic material. However, its chains can separate in a short length so the translational machinery can attach to it and the process of transcription can occur. Also, in crossing over, during meiosis, </span>the exchange of genetic material occurs and chromosomes change a bit.<span>
(3) be complex enough to determine the organism’s phenotype - it contains a number of genes responsible for different traits. All of this results in the </span>organism’s phenotype.
B) DNA copies itself. <span>Meselson and Stahl conducted the experiments on DNA replication in which they used </span>E. coli<span> bacteria as a model system. After they labelled all bacteria's DNA with heavy 15N by using medium with heavy 15N, they switched bacteria to medium with light 14N. After several generations, all bacteria's DNA was labelled with light 14N. This experiment evidenced that the self-replication of DNA is semi-conservative process.</span>
Answer:
D) B/b;S/s (x) b/b;s/s
Explanation:
Parent 1 : belted syndactylous sow
Since it is showing dominant phenotype for both the traits, it can either be BBSS or BbSs
Parent 2: unbelted cloven-hoofed
Since it is showing recessive phenotype for both the traits, it can only have bbss genotype
If we assume parent 1 to be BBSS all the resulting progeny with bbss will have dominant phenotype which is not the case.
If we assume parent 1 to be BbSs:
BbSs X bbss =
BbSs : belted syndactylous
bbSs : unbelted syndactylous
Bbss : belted cloven
bbss : unbelted cloven
The progeny will be produced in 1:1:1:1 ratio which means that each of them will make 25% of the population.
Hence, parent 1 will have BbSs genotype and parent 2 will have bbss genotype
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS *the total heat
energy applied to the system is equal to the sum of the change in
internal energy of the system and the work done <span>by the system.
</span>
SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS (entropy) *no
process in w/c the total entropy decreases is possible when all the
systems taken apart in the <span>process are considered.
BONUUUUSSS :D
</span>
<span> THIRD LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS *The entrophy of a perfect crystal of a substance at the absolute temp. is zero.
I hope this helps! <3
