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

Answers

Answer 1

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 eliminated the conservative model. 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.

This result was conclusive 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.

Why is Carbon important?

Answers

Answer:

Carbon is an important constituent of living beings. Along with Nitrogen and oxygen, carbon is one of the essential building blocks of organic life. Carbon forms about 18% of the human body. By organic here I want to stress the fact that it includes every living thing in the world including substances that are produced by living beings. Organic Chemistry, which deals with the study of carbon compounds is a vast repository of information on such compounds. Carbon is integral because of its unique ability to form four different bonds with other elements. This makes it possible for carbon to react with many other elements and form a vast array of compounds.

Hydrocarbons which again is primarily a compound of hydrogen and carbon are the source of all our fossil fuels. ( Fossil Fuels as these fuels are literally formed by fossilized organic matter)

CO2 which again is a carbon compound is responsible for keeping our earth warm and habitable by aiding the greenhouse effect. There are many other such compounds of carbon that are very useful to the earth and living beings.

To conclude carbon in itself is not as essential as its ability to form numerous compounds that are essential for life to exist.

Question 23 (6 points)
Sea Urchins are aquatic mammals that dive down to catch and eat sea urchins. Sea
urchins hunt the sea floor to catch and eat starfish. Starfish feed off of kelp forests
under the sea.
When sea otters overpopulate they clean out the sea urchins very quickly. This
allows the starfish to overpopulate and eat too much of the kelp forests.
Answer the following questions for 2 points each:
1. Name the TWO organisms that act as Carnivores in the ecosystem described
above.
2. Identify the ecological roles of the other TWO organisms.
3. Identify which of the four organisms above would be considered a keystone
species. Explain why.

Answers

Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters

2. They are prey for carnivores.

3. Sea otters, star fish

Explanation:

Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.

Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins.  So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.

Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.

 

Cual es el componente gaseoso que faltaba en la atmosfera primitiva y que hoy es escencial para la vida?

Answers

Answer:

El componente gaseoso que faltaba en la atmósfera primitiva y que hoy es esencial para la vida es:

El oxigeno [tex]O_{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Se tiene constancia de que en sus inicios, la atmósfera de la Tierra estaba compuesta por los gases resultantes de las diferentes erupciones volcánicas (ya que la actividad volcánica de dicha era fue demasiado alta), por lo tanto, era normal tener una atmósfera compuesta por azufre, dióxido de carbono, nitrógeno (que hoy en día es más del 70% del aire que respiramos) e incluso agua en estado gaseoso, sin embargo, la presencia del oxígeno [tex]O_{2}[/tex] era sumamente baja, casi inexistente, actualmente su presencia en el aire es de un poco más del 20% y es sumamente importante para diferentes funciones en los seres vivos, incluso los seres vivos acuáticos que se abastecen del oxígeno disuelto en el agua, esta es la razón por la cual, si tienes una pecera con peces en tu casa, debes instalarle un sistema que abastezca de oxígeno constantemente a tu peces mascota.

The atoms of certain element each contain 36 protons and 8 valence electrons. Which statement correctly identifies this element and describes its chmical reactivity?

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A The element is krypton, Kr, and it is not very reactive.

B The element is chlorine, Cl, and it is highly reactive.

C The element is krypton, Kr, and it is highly reactive.

D The element is chlorine, Cl, and it is not very reactive.

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

An atom is identified by its atomic number, which is the number of protons it contains. In this question, it is said that the atoms of a certain element each contain 36 protons. Using the periodic table, the element with atomic no. 36 is KRYPTON.

Also, Krypton posseses 8 valence electrons in its outer shell. In accordance to the octet rule, Krypton has no further need to engage in any chemical reaction to fill its electron shell because it is already filled (8 valence electrons). This accounts for the reason Krypton belongs to "Noble gases" and very unreactive.

What do you mean by Cancerous cells?

Cancerous cells may be defined as an abnormal cell that doesn't follow the regulations of the cell cycle. They get multiply at a rapid speed.

Normal cells follow a typical cell cycle. They grow, divide and finally die. But cancer cells do not follow the cell cycle, they do not undergo apoptosis, and they continuously multiply at a rapid pace.

Therefore, Cancers cells differ from normal cells because they do not stop at checkpoints and they have uncontrolled growth.

An ecosystem that develops from barren rock is known as?

The rebuilding of an ecosystem after a natural disaster
is known as?

Explain why secondary succession is a faster process than primary succession.

Answers

Answer:

Ecological succession happens when new life takes over an environment. ... Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants—those that can survive in such an environment

Ecological restoration aims to recreate, initiate, or accelerate the recovery of an ecosystem that has been disturbed. Disturbances are environmental changes that alter ecosystem structure and function. Common disturbances include logging, damming rivers, intense grazing, hurricanes, floods, and fire

Secondary succession is usually faster than primary succession because soil and nutrients are already present due to 'normalization' by previous pioneer species, and because roots, seeds and other biotic organisms may still be present within the substrate

If only one species is considered the 'fittest', why do we still have so many variation among species?

Answers

Answer:

Variation occurs in species with the genes resulting in the traits and physical characteristics that make it possible for them to be among the fittest for a number of reasons:

1. Mutation

2. Recombination and

3. Migration

Explanation:

Mutations:  A mutation is a deviation from the norm in a DNA sequence. It can be stimulated by errors during the DNA replication process which happens as the cell is dividing, or by exposure to ionizing radiation, chemicals, or viral infection (whether artificial or natural).

It is noteworthy that naturally, without any human intervention, the possibility of a spontaneous mutation is very low.

Recombination: This refers to the creation of new fusion of genes in the offspring that did not occur in the parents by the processes of crossing-over and independent assortment. Independent assortment meaning that the allele the gamete received for one gene was not influenced by the allele received for another gene.

Migration: Variation by migration here refers to the introduction of new genes from into one population by another. This could happen when a new population arrives at an existing one or when an existing one migrates to another population.

We can say for example that, genes from Americans have “migrated” into the population of African origin in America given the continuous immigration of Africans into America.

So in both populations, there are very fit species, but when their genes are mixed during cross-reproduction, variation arises.
