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.

Which optical phenomena are formed by water droplets?
maw [93]
One of the most common and well known atmospheric optics, the rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted and reflected by water. A collection of droplets in the atmosphere — whether from rain, a waterfall, a sprinkler, etc. — disperses the entire visible light spectrum at an angle, resulting in the circular shape.

Classify each statement as an example of adhesion, cohesion, or surface tension. Drag each statement to the appropriate bin. A s
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket - surface tension

Water molecules ding to plant cell walls - adhesion

A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface - surface tension

A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface - cohesion

Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker - adhesion

Water molecules are attracted to each other - cohesion

Explanation:

The surface tension refers to the tendency of the surface of a liquid to remain unbroken by an external force due to the cohesive property of the molecules of the liquid. Instead of being broken, the surface of the liquid stretches like an elastic membrane.

The adhesive property of a liquid, also known as the force of adhesion, refers to the property of the molecules of the liquid to stick to other molecules while cohesive property or cohesion refers to the property of molecules of liquids to stick to themselves.

Hence,

<u>Surface tension</u>

  • A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket.
  • A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface.

<u>Cohesion</u>

  • A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface.
  • Water molecules are attracted to each other.

<u>Adhesion</u>

  • Water molecules ding to plant cell walls
  • Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker
