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.

What climate related factor helped to form the American Great Plains? What biome is it?​
miskamm [114]
The Great Plains have a continental climate. Much of the plains experience cold winters and warm summers, with low precipitation and humidity, much wind, and sudden changes in temperature. More rainfall occurs in summer than in winter, except in some of the northwestern parts of the Great Plains.

Hopes this helps!

almond37 [142]

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The paragraph illustrated in the question reminds me the first law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics or law of energy conservation theory states that the total amount of energy of the universe always remains constant.Energy can neither be synthesized nor destroyed.Energy can only be transformed.

   Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration obey the law of energy conservation or the first law of thermodynamics.Because during photosynthesis the light energy is converted to chemical energy that is stored in the chemical bonds present in glucose.

  Whereas during cellular respiration the glucose is broken down  by oxidation to release free energy in form of ATP.
