Elenna [48]

During the day, due to the presence of sunlight, the process of photosynthesis peaks over that of respiration. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to make carbohydrates releasing oxygen as a byproduct. During the night, because there is no sunlight, the rate of photosynthesis drops.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

No, since DNA does not have atoms of S (sulfur) in its nucleotide.

DNA molecule has several nucleotides that are bonded by a specific type of covalent bond. Nucleotides of DNA have a pentose sugar, phosphate and a nitrogenous base (purines and pyrimidines). None of these components of DNA nucleotides have sulfur atoms in their structure. Therefore, viruses growing in a medium having 35S would not form DNA having these sulfur atoms. Sulfur atoms are present in some of the amino acids of proteins.

kkurt [141]
<span>Since purple is dominant over white, it is fair to say that white is recessive. The crossing over of two white plants suggest that the parents are both homozygous recessive. Crossing over of 2 homozygous recessive white plants would produce progeny. In the production of 1000 offspring by two white plants, all of the1000 progeny would be white as well.</span>
