A conditional mutation expresses its mutant phenotype only under certain conditions (the restrictive conditions) and expresses t

he normal phenotype under other conditions (the permissive conditions). One type of conditional mutation is a temperature-sensitive mutation, which expresses the mutant phenotype only at certain temperatures. Strains of E. coli have been isolated that contain temperature-sensitive mutations in the genes encoding different components of the replication machinery. In each of these strains, the protein produced by the mutated gene is nonfunctional under the restrictive conditions. These strains are grown under permissive conditions and then abruptly switched to the restrictive condition. After one round of replication under the restrictive condition, the DNA from each strain is isolated and analyzed. What characteristics would you expect to see in the DNA isolated from each strain with a temperature-sensitive mutation in its gene that encodes the following?a. DNA ligase
b. DNA polymerase I
c. DNA polymerase III
d. Primase
e. Initiator protein

Answer:

a) DNA ligase

Due to temperature sensitivity DNA ligase action is impaired due to presence of multiple nicks   but the DNA replication will proceed

<u>b)  Encoding polymerase I</u>

Due to temperature sensitivity mutation occurs causing non-corrected strands to be obtained but DNA replication will continue

<u>c) Encoding polymerase III</u>

Replication is stooped here because of the importance of the enzyme in the synthesis  of new strand

d)<u> Primase</u>

The enzyme will induce primers in forward and lagging strands

Explanation:

DNA replication is facilitated by the functionality of enzymes in assisting  the formation of new synthesis

Which hypothesis helps to explain why all organisms share the same genetic code?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.

Explanation:

The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.

Which of the following is an organism whose cells each contain a membrane<br> bound nucleus?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

D. Eukaryote

Explanation:

An organism that has membrane-bound organelles will have more complex organelles like mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and ER. These are known as Eukaryotes. Additionally, they will have a nucleus that has the DNA coiled inside. Prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelle and the DNA floats in the cytoplasm. Most plants and animals are eukaryotes and all multicellular organisms are too.
