Suppose that in another world, DNA does not undergo semiconservative replication, but instead a conservative mechanism is used.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

c. ¼ heavy, ¾ light

Explanation:

DNA replication follows semi conservative model which means that both the strands separate during replication and the newly formed DNA molecule has one old and one new strand. If instead of semi conservative, conservative mechanism is used, old strands will not separate from each other and the two newly synthesised DNA strands will come together to form a DNA molecule.

Here the cells were first grown in heavy 15N medium so all the DNA molecules had 15N and thus were heavy. Then the cells were transferred to 14N medium where only lighter 14N were available for replication process.

In first generation, 14N DNA molecules were synthesised from 15N DNA molecules so 1/2 DNA molecules were 15N and other half were 14N. In the second generation, 14N molecules will give rise to new 14N molecules and 15N molecules will also give rise to 14N molecules hence 1/4 molecules will be 15N (heavy) and 3/4 will be 14N (light).

A married couple plans to have children. The wife has blue eyes (a recessive trait) and her husband has brown eyes (a dominant t
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

The mom only carries the gene for blue eyes. The dad carries the gene for blue eyes, and the gene for brown eyes.  So hypothetically speaking (because Punnet squares are only guesses/predictions) 75% of the kids could have blue eyes

A key derived character of sharks and rays that distinguishes them from ray-finned fishes is
o-na [289]

Answer:

Jaws and a swimming bladder

Explanation:

A defining characteristic between sharks and rays that distinguish them from ray-finned fish is the *possession of jaws in sharks* and rays;and the *possession of swimming bladder in ray-finned fishes*.

Characteristics of sharks and rays are as follows :

They are cartiiliginous fishes; they possess *strong jaws* lined with teeth; body dorsoventrally flattened, fusiform (spindle shaped) with heterocercal tail(diphycercal in Chimaeras); paired fins; *no swimming bladder or lungs*; pelvic fins in males often modified to form clappers; Gill arches internal to gills; reduced notchord; lateral-line system; paired nostrils; internal nares absent; separate sexes; internal fertilization and direct development; oviparous, oviparous, or ovoviviparous. Examples include, Spiny dog fish or dog shark, Ray Raja, Chimaera.

Characteristics of ray-finned fishses:

They generally lack paired fins; no internal nares; *air sacks usually function as swimming bladder*; skeleton usually well ossified. Blind olfactory sacs (do not open into the mouth); Tail homocercal. Examples include Tilapia, Claris,and Polypterus.

What are the similarities and differences between plant, animal, and fungal cells?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

They are eukaryotic cells, they present the three main parts: cell or cytoplasmic membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus defined with chromosomes and nucleolus. The three types of cells have in common the following structures: cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus defined with chromosomes and nucleolus, mitochondria, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton and peroxisomes. But it differs in some. The plant cell has chloroplasts and a cell wall and the animal cell does not.

Explanation:

The animal cell has centrioles, lysosomes. It has no plastids, no cell wall, it has vesicles. They do not have the ability to produce their own food from inorganic components. The plant cell has plastids (chloroplasts), cell walls, large vacuoles. Fungal cells are organisms without chlorophyll, therefore they cannot photosynthesize. The reserve substances of the cytoplasm are not starch granules. As they are not able to synthesize their food, they have to obtain from other living organisms (they feed on other plant and animal residues contributing to decomposition) that is, they are heterotrophic. Fungal cells have a cell wall that is not present in animal cells and but plant cells have a cell wall. They have lysosomes and centrioles that the plant cell lacks but they are in animal cells. Animal cells, with a few exceptions, do not have vacuoles while plant cells do. The three types of cells have present nucleus, membrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi system.
