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.

The cytoplasmic extensions that, together with the cell body, provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- D.

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells which help in the transmission of the signals to and fro from the CNS and PNS to the body and vice versa. The structure of the neurons is divided into three main parts: the axon, dendrites and the cell body. The dendrites and axons are the extensions of the cell cytoplasm and together constitutes the neurites.  

The dendrites are the extensions of the cytoplasm which receives the signals either from the cell surface as well as the from the post-synaptic neurons and further process the signals.

Thus, option- D is the correct answer.

Which spinal root is responsible for conveying motor or efferent information from the spinal cord to the body?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The spinal cord is divided into 31 segments that send nerve rootlets out into the body through intervertebral foramen. These neurons travel into the spinal cord via the dorsal roots. Ventral roots consist of axons from motor neurons, which bring information to the periphery from cell bodies within the CNS.

Explanation:

Hope this will help
