Why is DNA replication (copying) described as semi-conservative?

Biology
2 answers:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
7 0

DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because of this process of replication, where the resulting double helix is composed of both an old strand and a new strand. ... Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.

If a plant cell is placed in a salt water solution, where the concentration of water is greater in the solution than in the cell
-Dominant- [34]
Salt reduces the amount of water in a solution, because you're introducing another molecule. If the water concentrations are different, the water is going to want to reach an equilibrium to balance itself out. Because the salt solution has a higher water concentration than the plant cell, the water will move into the cell to try and balance out the concentrations. If the salt solution had a lower water concentration (water potential) then water would move from the cell into the solution.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Sickle cell disease is passed on from parent to offspring. Sickle cell disea
allsm [11]

Answer: All the statements of the question are correct.

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by formation of defective hemoglobin protein, which results in sickle shaped RBC ( red blood cell).

This disease is caused by mutation in the gene that is responsible for the protein hemoglobin ( which transport oxygen throughout body).

It is inherited by the offspring when both the mutated copy of genes ( one from each parent) are passed to him.

Carriers of the disease exhibit increased resistance to malarial parasites by controlling the level of free haem in the blood ( through enzyme heme oxygenase that produces a toxic carbon monoxide gas). The resistance thus developed, is a mutation.

Therefore, all the statements in the given question are correct.
