Question

Researchers Robert Briggs and Thomas King used ultraviolet radiation to destroy the nuclear DNA of frog eggs. Nuclei from adult skin cells and from tadpole-gut epithelial cells were cultured and then injected into eggs that had their nuclei destroyed. The results were tadpoles. Which conclusion is supported by the data from this investigation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Nuclei of gametes and somatic cells are similar to each other in its function.

Explanation:

The conclusion of the data is that the nuclei of gametes and somatic cells are similar to each other because both performs same function in the cell i.e. regulates activities of the cell. The nuclei of somatic or skin cells work efficiently in the egg cells due to similar composition and structure of nuclei that performs similar function in the cell so that's why injection of skin cell's nuclei into egg cells results the same i.e. formation of tadpoles.
