In the meselson-stahl experiment, cells were grown for one generation in growth medium containing a relatively heavy nitrogen is

otope, then transferred to new medium containing a lighter nitrogen isotope. after one round of dna replication, what was true of the dna in the cells?

Out of the following give choices;

a. All DNA strands contained only the heavy nitrogen isotope.

b. Half of the DNA strands contained only the light nitrogen isotope.

c. All DNA strands contained both heavy and light nitrogen isotopes.

d. All DNA strands contained only the lighter nitrogen isotope.

The answer is b. Meselson–Stahl experiment demonstrated the semi-conservative model of DNA replication. When DNA is replicated, one strand of the new double helix strand is the parent's strand while the other is the newly synthesized one. This made the semiconservative model stand out over the other two, dispersive and conservative models.

In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur.
Fudgin [204]

Crossing a BB male with a Bb female:

The Punnett Square will look like this:

BB BB

Bb Bb

The percentage will be as follows:

- You will have 50% homozygous dominant (BB)

- You will have 50% heterozygous (Bb)

Now, for the phenotype, you will have 100% black fur, since B is dominant and is prevalent in 100% of all the breeds.

For the genotype, you have 50% BB and 50% Bb

why is tetracycline selectively toxic against bacteria Eukaryotic cells will enzymatically destroy the drug. Eukaryotic cells wi
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is The drug binds to the 30S small ribosomal  subunit eukaryotes have 40S small sub unit.

Explanation:

Tetracycline belongs to broad spectrum antibiotic.Tetracycline is named so because it contain a derivative of four hydrocarbon rings.

 Tetracycline act by inhibiting the protein synthesis process in prokatotes by binding to the small ribosomal subunit also called 30S subsunit and blocks the binding of amino acyl tRNA to the A site or attachment site of ribosome.

 As eukaryotes contain 40S ribosomal  subunit,it becomes difficult for tetracycline to bind with 40S ribosomal subunit of eukaryotes.

Can you tell from this tree whether a C at position 15 evolved before or after a T at position 15? Explain your answer
Ratling [72]

The evolutionary tree is not observed here but it is possible to answer this question by observing which nucleotide is found in the root of the node. It indicates the first substitution.

<h3>What is an evolutionary tree?</h3>

A phylogenetic evolutionary tree is a diagram used to show the evolution of a given taxonomic group (for example, a group of species).

It is possible to trace the evolution of a given taxon by tracing the nucleotide substitution observed from a common ancestor.

In an evolutionary tree, the root of the node is represented by the common ancestor and therefore the presence of a particular nucleotide (either T or C) in that position can be considered as the ancestral character.
