A scientist investigated DNA replication in two groups of cells, labeled A and B. She injected radioactively labeled nucleotides

into cells of each group and allowed DNA replication to begin. When replication was halfway completed, she injected a drug into the cells to stop replication. She then examined the cells to determine the distribution of the newly-synthesized DNA. She found each cell of group A had many segments of new DNA in its nucleus, while each cell of group B had a single segment of new DNA in its cytoplasm. What can the researcher conclude about the cells?

Answer:

A is a eukaryotic cell while B is a prokaryotic cell

Explanation:

The researcher can conclude that <u>cell A is eukaryotic while cell B is prokaryotic.</u>

In eukaryotic cells, the <u>DNA is located majorly in the nucleus and the replication of the DNA happens in the nucleus</u>. Hence, it is only logical to find segments of new DNA in the nucleus of cell A during replication.

<u>Prokaryotic cells, however, lack a nucleus</u>. Their DNAs lie freely within the cytoplasm. This thus means that replication can only happen in the cytoplasm. Hence, it follows logically to find a new DNA segment in the cytoplasm of cell B.

How would you write this number in scientific notation? (Use the carrot key to denote an exponent. ex: 6.02 x 10^23)
NeTakaya

Answer:

D=5.89\times 10^{12}\ km

Explanation:

The distance to the Sun is 5,890,000,000,000. We need to write this distance in km.

A number can be written as x.0\times 10^y in scientific notation where x is a real no and y is any integer.

There are 10 zeros in the given number and also there are 12 digits after. It would mean that,

D=5.89\times 10^{12}\ km

So, the distance in scientific notation is : D=5.89\times 10^{12}\ km

Describe events or processes that created the Earth today
inessss [21]

Global Warming: Global warming is a gradual increase in the Earth's temperature over time.

Greenhouse Effect: The greenhouse effect causes the Earth to be colder than usual,and the gases polluting the air build up and form a thick layer of substances which trap the sun's radiation.

Gases: Certain gases such as Carbon Dioxide, CFC's and many more, cause the Earth to become warmer.

Littering: Littering pollutes the Earth's air, making a build up of gases stronger, which could lead to the temperature's rising too high in the near future.

Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a process where plants use a process of water and carbon dioxide to make food, and to grow and release oxygen into the Earth's atmosphere.

Hope this helps! x
