DNA is where genetic information is stored
Answer:
The high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that substance by one degree Celsius (1° C).
Due to the hydrogen bonding present in water, water has a high specific heat capacity of 4184 Joules per kilogram. This means that, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. When compared to other substances such as metals, this is very high. For example, the specific heat capacity of copper is 385 Joules per kilogram which means that it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.
Therefore water, can absorb a large quantity of heat with very little changes in its temperature. This property of water helps the oceans and seas to serve as heat reservoirs by absorbing a large quantity of heat in hotter seasons and releasing these heat in colder seasons.
Answer:
Semi-conservative
Explanation:
Meselson–Stahl experiment proved that DNA replication is a semiconservative process, feeding E. colo bacteria with different types of Nitrogen isotopes (N14 and N15).
Changing the type of radioactive compound in different times of bacteria grow, they could observe that both of the isotopes were present on the bacteria culture.
Basically, if the bacteria present both of them, the DNA was replicated semiconcervely.
Guess what? they show both! (See the image for more information)
Gene. A segment of a DNA molecule that codes for a particular protein and determines the traits of the individual. A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism
