While doing research on deep-sea vents, you discover a very simple new life form. After some initial analysis, you find that thi

s life form contains small fragments of DNA, small complementary RNA fragments, and proteins. Fortuitously, you collected two strains, one that is purple and one that is yellow. You wish to discover which of those three molecules could be the genetic material. You heat-kill some of the purple life form and subject three different homogenized samples to different enzymes: DNase, RNase, or protease. Which treated sample(s) will transform yellow into purple IF RNA is the genetic material

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

<em>The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with </em><em>DNase </em><em>and </em><em>protease</em><em> respectively.</em>

<u>The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.</u>

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

Name the five cardiac cycle activities starting with excitation and ending with regulation of blood flow and volume.
stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Excitation brings about contraction.

2) Contraction leads to an increase in blood pressure.

3) Changes in blood pressure results in the opening and closing of the heart valves.

4) The opening and closing of heart valves then regulates the flow of blood and it's volume.

True or false: High levels of adrenaline decrease the ability to remember trauma but
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

This is a false statement because researches have shown that Adrenaline is helping and it is good for long-term memory and if we have lots of Adrenaline that is making our brain work and remember better and more.

If we are recalling being insulted, falling, or something more, we can still retrieve those memories because of the Adrenaline and that means that it is not decreasing the ability to remember the  trauma.

How proteins are made​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Proteins are an important class of molecules that carry out most of the work inside cells. The building blocks of proteins are smaller organic molecules called amino acids. Most organisms, including humans, use only 20 different amino acids to assemble the vast multitude of proteins needed to build and run a cell.

To build proteins, cells use a complex assembly of molecules called a ribosome. The ribosome assembles amino acids into the proper order and links them together via peptide bonds. This process, known as translation, creates a long string of amino acids called a polypeptide chain.  

After the polypeptide chain is synthesized, it will sometimes undergo additional processing. For example, some proteins will have certain amino acids removed. Or extra molecules such as sugars or phosphates may be attached to some of the amino acids in a protein.
