Suppose you discover a new form of a nucleic acid, XNA. Like DNA, it is double-stranded. You are interested in its mode of repli

cation, so you label parental XNA and then allow that XNA to replicate in the presence of unlabeled bases. After one round of replication, you find the parental XNA intact with both strands labeled and the new XNA with both strands unlabeled. What can you infer?
A) Unlike DNA, XNA replicates conservatively.
B) Like DNA, XNA replicates conservatively.
C) Like DNA, XNA replicates semiconservatively.
D) Unlike DNA, XNA replicates dispersively.
E) Unlike DNA, XNA replicates semiconservatively.

Answer:

A: Unlike DNA, XNA replicates conservatively

Explanation:

<em>The replication of the DNA is </em><em>semi conservative.</em><em> This means that newly replicated double helix DNAs usually consist of one parental strands and one newly synthesized strands. The parental DNA unwinds and each strand serves as template for the synthesis of complementary strands.</em>

In the case of XNA, the two strands of parental XNA were found intact, meaning that the newly produced XNA consist of two newly synthesized strands. This thus means that the replication process is conservative.

Hence, unlike DNA replication that is semi conservative, XNA replication is conservative.

In addition to carbon, carbonate minerals contain
shutvik [7]
Carbonate groups contain a single carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms in a trigonal molecular geometry. The carbon atom has two single bonds to two oxygen atoms and a double bond to the third oxygen atom. Therefore, in addition to carbon, carbonate minerals contain oxygen. An example of a carbonate mineral is calcium carbonate, often found within rocks.

sveta [45]

Answer:

(C) each cell of an organism has all the genes needed for development.

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted on Genetics, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this illustrates that each cell of an organism has all the genes needed for development. If this were not the case then the frog would either not be born or would be born with serious abnormalities because the cell did not have the necessary genes needed for the frog to form correctly.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

1 Populations that show uniform dispersion typically show the following characteristics EXCEPT:
professor190 [17]

1. Answer: C

Explanation: Species that are inclined to clumping means they are more likely to cooperate in tasking such as gathering food. However, evenly distributed population means there is competition between individuals hence the need to their own space and territory from the other individual.

2. Answer: B

Explanation: While the clumped up populations may be inclined to cooperate in tasks such as food gathering, such distribution results to increases intraspecies competition especially during scarcity. This is because the individuals are close together – which is also advantageous during mating season.

3. Answer: A

Explanation: Type 3 survivorship curve is characterized by a high mortality rate early in the life of the species which gradually progresses to a low mortality rate for the individuals that survive the early stages of life. These species, therefore, bear a lot of offspring most of which will not make to adulthood.

4. Answer: B

Explanation: If the death rate of a population is higher than the birth+ immigration rate, then the population must be decreasing. This can be demonstrated by a growth curve of a population such as that of bacteria. The population starts decreasing due to increased competition for reduced resources after reaching carrying capacity  - depicted by the stationary phase.
