sattari [20]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A nerve impulse

Explanation:

It's important to note that these signals not only connect the brain and spinal cord, but they also send signals to muscles and glands. People talk about nerve impulses when they talk about the electrical signal that goes down an axon.

According to one hypothesis, life on earth emerged from (bluegreen algae/ amino acids/ molten metals/ crustal rocks) in the pres
Yuri [45]
1) The answer is <span>bluegreen algae
</span>
Bluegreen algae or cyanobacteria <span>are thought to have started life on earth because they converted the atmosphere that didn't have a lot of oxygen, into an atosphere with enough oxygen to exist life. That </span>oxygen was a product of their photosynthesis.

2) The answer is lightning.
<span>By Primordial Soup Theory, life began as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and lighning (a form of energy) to make amino acids. Aminoacids are necessary to build proteins, and proteins are necessary for all the organisms.</span>

Which model of replication did the actual results of the Meselson-Stahl experiment support? Explain your answer.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Semi-conservative replication

Explanation:

After the double-helix discovery of Watson and Crick, there were three possible models about the DNI replication:

  • The Conservative model stated that the two strands of DNI together were the template of another new molecule. The final product was the original double-stranded molecule and the new molecule.
  • The semi-conservative model stated that the original DNI molecule separated into two strands, and each of them served as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. The replication product would be two double-stranded DNA molecules, each carrying an original strand a new one.
  • The Dispersive moles stated that the replication product would be two molecules made by a mixture of segments of the original and the new molecules.

Meselson and Stahl joined to discover which of the models was the correct one. To do it they used E. coli and Nitrogen isotopes.

  • First, they extracted DNI from bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁴ and got its density band by centrifugation.
  • Then they grew bacteria in a medium with N¹⁵, extracted their DNI molecules, centrifugated them, and got the density band, which was heavier than the firsts ones.
  • The researchers then transferred bacteria grown in medium with N¹⁵  to a medium with N¹⁴, and they allowed only one replication process to occur. DNI was extracted and centrifugated again, and a new band appeared. This band was an intermediate form between bands of DNI-N¹⁵ and DNI-N¹⁴.

This event <em>eliminated the conservative model</em>. If this model were correct, the expected result would be to get two bands: one corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁵ and the other corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁴.

  • Bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁵ and then transferred to a medium with N¹⁴ were finally allowed to replicate twice. Their DNI was extracted and centrifugated. The result was two bands: one of them coincided with the intermediate band, and the other one with the DNI-N¹⁴.

<u>This result was conclusive</u> because if the dispersal model were correct, these two bands should not appear, as all the DNI strands would have part of the original molecule.

With this experiment, Meselson and Stahl proved that the correct replication model was the semi-conservative one.
