Answer:
Semi-conservative replication
Explanation:
After the double-helix discovery of Watson and Crick, there were three possible models about the DNI replication:
- The Conservative model stated that the two strands of DNI together were the template of another new molecule. The final product was the original double-stranded molecule and the new molecule.
- The semi-conservative model stated that the original DNI molecule separated into two strands, and each of them served as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. The replication product would be two double-stranded DNA molecules, each carrying an original strand a new one.
- The Dispersive moles stated that the replication product would be two molecules made by a mixture of segments of the original and the new molecules.
Meselson and Stahl joined to discover which of the models was the correct one. To do it they used E. coli and Nitrogen isotopes.
- First, they extracted DNI from bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁴ and got its density band by centrifugation.
- Then they grew bacteria in a medium with N¹⁵, extracted their DNI molecules, centrifugated them, and got the density band, which was heavier than the firsts ones.
- The researchers then transferred bacteria grown in medium with N¹⁵ to a medium with N¹⁴, and they allowed only one replication process to occur. DNI was extracted and centrifugated again, and a new band appeared. This band was an intermediate form between bands of DNI-N¹⁵ and DNI-N¹⁴.
This event <em>eliminated the conservative model</em>. If this model were correct, the expected result would be to get two bands: one corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁵ and the other corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁴.
- Bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁵ and then transferred to a medium with N¹⁴ were finally allowed to replicate twice. Their DNI was extracted and centrifugated. The result was two bands: one of them coincided with the intermediate band, and the other one with the DNI-N¹⁴.
<u>This result was conclusive</u> because if the dispersal model were correct, these two bands should not appear, as all the DNI strands would have part of the original molecule.
With this experiment, Meselson and Stahl proved that the correct replication model was the semi-conservative one.
<span>Peter Raymond Grant, FRS, FRSC, and Barbara Rosemary Grant, FRS, FRSC, are a British couple who are evolutionary biologists at Princeton University. Each currently holds the position of emeritus professor. They are known for their work with Darwin's finches on Daphne Major, one of the Galápagos Islands. Since 1973, the Grants have spent six months of every year capturing, tagging, and taking blood samples from finches on the island. They have worked to show that natural selection can be seen within a single lifetime, or even within a couple of years. Charles Darwin originally thought that natural selection was a long, drawn out process. The Grants have shown that these changes in populations can happen very quickly.</span>

Answer and explanation;
-Arctic microbes would have membranes with more unsaturated fatty acids; increasing the unsaturated fatty acid ratio would make it harder for the fatty acids to pack together. This will keep the membrane fluid at lower temperatures, which will benefit organisms that live in very cold climates.
-Microorganisms are adapted for optimum functioning in their normal physiological environments. Any extreme change in environmental conditions from the optimum inflicts a stress on an organism. For this reason they must accommodate a variety of changing conditions and stresses in their environment in order to survive and multiply.
