Answer:

The correct answer is option E. "DNA in both daughter cells would be radioactive".

Explanation:

Radioactive thymidine incorporation has irremediable effects in thymine and cytosine in bacteria such as E. coli. Although there are some reports of recovery of E. coli from UV-irradiation DNA damage, the presence of radioactive bases such as thymine is often irremediable. Therefore, after a dividing culture of E. coli exposed to radioactive thymine divides, DNA in both daughter cells would be radioactive.

Which are typical pioneer species during primary succession?
JulijaS [17]

Answer & explanation:

Primary succession occurs in environments that did not have biological communities in place and present unfavorable conditions for the establishment of life. Examples of these sites are rocks, dunes and newly solidified lava pits.

The pioneer organisms in primary succession are mainly producers and some decomposers.

In <u>dune</u> <u>environments</u>, for example, there are grasses, whose seeds are wind-borne and able to withstand excessive heat, water scarcity and unstable soil, and their roots are firm, preventing these plants from being harmed by the wind.

Sites with <u>rocky</u> <u>surfaces</u> can be colonized by photosynthetic bacteria, fungi or some species of algae. These organisms release substances that alter the substrate, allowing the installation of new species over time.
