Meselson and Stahl used density labeling of DNA to show that DNA replication occurs via a semiconservative mechanism. In their e

xperiment, they started with an organism grown in a heavy density label (15N). After two generations of growth in light medium (the more common 14N isotope), if the DNA is isolated and separated by density, how many bands would be observed and how would their density compare with the starting DNA

Answer:

  • The organism previously used 15N for replication so all the DNA molecules were of 15N15N type. Then the organism is shifted to a medium where only 14N is available for replication.
  • According to semi conservative mode of replication, a newly synthesised DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one parental strand. So after the first round of replication, All the 15N strands will synthesise new DNA strands using 14N resulting into intermediate 15N14N DNA molecules. Hence, only one band would be observed (15N14N) above the original 15N15N band since 15N14N has lighter isotope too so it will be lighter than 15N15N molecules and will lie above it.
  • After second round of replication, 15N strand from 15N14N would synthesise another 14N strand. 14N strand from 15N14N molecules will also synthesise another 14N strand. So now, 50% of the DNA molecules will be of 15N14N intermediate type and 50% of them will be of 14N14N type.Two bands will be observed above the original 15N15N band. One band of 15N14N molecules will be right above it and other band of 14N14N molecules will be even higher because it is the lightest band since it has only the lighter isotope of nitrogen.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The answer to the enunciated: your employer lets you know that the safety data sheets are located on a computer in his office. Does this comply with employer responsibilities? is:- This act doesn't comply with the responsibilities of the employer.

Explanation:

The responsibilities of the employer are to guide the employed about the things in the company, of the sentence you can deduct two sceneries:

- The employed is in training in the company, the reason why the employer is saying to him where are the safety data sheets, but the correct would be to show the sheets and how function them.

- The safety data sheets are reserved for people with a high rank in the company, the reason why the employer must not say it to the employed.
