Meselson and Stahl were trying to determine if DNA replication was semiconservative, conservative, or dispersive by labeling E.

coliDNA with a regimen of heavy nitrogen (H) for one round of replication and then transferring these cells to light nitrogen (L) for two more rounds of replication. Which of the following statements wouldnotbe true within the context of this experiment?a. If DNA replication were conservative, no DNA molecules of intermediate density (H-L) would have been seen.b. If DNA replication were dispersive, only DNA molecules that were of intermediate density (H-L) would have been seen.c. If DNA replication were semiconservative, the DNA molecules that were made would all continue to be heavy density (H-H).d. If DNA replication were semiconservative, the DNA molecules would consist of one parental strand basepaired to one newly replicated strand.e. If DNA replication were semiconserative, a higher proportion of DNA molecules from future divisions would have been low density (L-L)

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

All of the following options are correct except option C. in the Meselson Stahl experiment, after the first round of replication, the DNA molecules made consisted mainly of one parental strand and one new strand each which is the DNA molecules of intermediate density (H-L). Then future replications will produce more of the low density L-L density. This form of replication is thus termed to be the semi conservative form of replication

slavikrds [6]

The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.

There are two types of reactions:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.

2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.

Suppose an assassin uses abrin, a translation inhibitor, to poison her victim. Place the events in chronological order, starting
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The events in chronological order are:

  1. Abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells
  2. Abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
  3. Abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome.
  4. Ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides
  5. Protein synthesis halts in many tissues
  6. Multiple organ systems fail
  7. Victim dies

Explanation:

Abrin is a toxic protein obtained from the seeds of Abrus precatorius, it is highly toxic, with an estimated human fatal dose of 0.1-1 microgram/kg, and causes death after accidental and intentional poisoning.

When ingested the abrin would enter the victim's body and travel through the blood and eventually enter a cell's cytoplasm (abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells). Once there it would interact with the ribosomes and reacts with them on a molecular level (peptide bond catalytic enzyme) (abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm), which results in the ribosome exhibiting its toxic response to abrin (abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome). As a result of the ribosome reacting to abrin (ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides), protein synthesis within that cell is affected (protein synthesis halts in many tissues). Once multiple cells are affected by abrin the organ will exhibit its toxic response (multiple organ systems fail), and the victim would die.

What is the greenhouse effect
fiasKO [112]

The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius.
