Out of the following give choices;
a. All DNA strands
contained only the heavy nitrogen isotope.
b. Half of the DNA strands contained only the light nitrogen
isotope.
c. All DNA strands contained both heavy and light nitrogen
isotopes.
d. All DNA strands contained only the lighter nitrogen
isotope.
The answer is b. Meselson–Stahl experiment demonstrated the semi-conservative model of DNA replication.
When DNA is replicated, one strand of the new double
helix strand is the parent's strand while the other is the newly synthesized
one. This made the semiconservative model stand out over the other two, dispersive
and conservative models.
Answer:
Crossing over and random alignment are the events of meiosis-I that add new gene combinations to the gametes. Random fusion of male and female gametes is called random fertilization.
Explanation:
During the pachytene stage of meiosis-I, part of the chromatids of each of the homologous chromosomes of a bivalent is broken apart and exchanged. This exchange of the genetic material between the members of a bivalent is called crossing over. The recombinant chromatids formed by crossing over have new allele combinations that were otherwise not present in the parental chromatids.
During metaphase I, the homologous pairs are aligned at the cell's equator in a random manner. This means that either the paternal or maternal chromosome of a pair may face one or the other pole of the cell. The arrangement of chromosomes during metaphase-I determines whether the paternal or maternal chromosome of each pair would be distributed to one or the other pole of the cell. This random segregation creates new gene combinations in gametes.
All the gametes have equal chances of getting fused with a gamete from the opposite gender. This is called random fertilization and further adds variations.
Humans impact the physical environment in many ways overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.
Answer:
THE DOMINANT GENE CAME FROM THE FATHER TO ONLY THE SONS THE RECCESIVE GENE WENT TO HIS DAUGHTERS
