n the Meselson-Stahl DNA replication experiment, if the cells were first grown for many generations in 15N containing media, and

then switched to 14N containing media, what percent of the DNA had 1 light strand and 1 heavy strand after 2 generations of growth in 15N growth media?

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process. It means that after DNA replication, the newly formed DNA molecules have one parental strand and one newly formed strand. The cells in the experiment have DNA with 15N. After one round of DNA replication, each DNA molecule would have one parental DNA strand with 15N and one newly formed DNA strand with 14N.

However, after the second round of DNA replication, each hybrid DNA with strand having 15N and the other with 14N would be unwound. The parental heavy DNA strands would be present in the 50% of the newly formed DNA while the rest 50% of DNA molecules would have both strands with 14N (both light strands).

Select the appropriate shape for the given volume formula. V = pi r squared h. V = four-thirds pi r cubed. V = l w h. V = one-th
devlian [24]

Explanation:

          Volume of a cylinder = \pi r² h

          Volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3}  \pi r³

          Volume of cone =  \frac{1}{3} \pi r² h

          Volume of cuboid = l w h

Where:

     r is the radius of the body measured

     h is the height

     l is the length

    w is the width

     

The volume of a body is the space it occupies and it refers to its size.

it is measured in cubic meters or cubic centimeters.

Biological and environmental influences that are similar for individuals in a particular age group, regardless of where they are
Flauer [41]

Answer:

age-graded

Explanation:

Age-graded influences are biological and environmental events that influence the dynamic interaction between an individual and their environment at certain ages of the individual’s course of life. They are events that are expected to occur in a particular setting based on chronological age. For example, depending on the cultural settings of an individual, an individual is expected to graduate high school at a certain age, or get married at a certain age. Another example is puberty and menopause which are biological influences that are age-graded.

igor_vitrenko [27]
The temperature insensitive, thermostable, DNA polymerase was extracted from a bacterium found in hot springs can withstand the high temperatures needed to separate the double stranded DNA and the replication process can continue uninterrupted. The enzyme thermus aquaticus can withstand the high temperature used to separate double stranded DNA, so replication does not need to be interrupted by the need to add more enzymes.

Arlecino [84]
1) kinetic energy
2) water vapor
3) air
4) rain

The first one is a guess from my knowledge as a college bio student. I hope it’s what you’re looking for. Temperature is just the movement of molecules (hotter has more movement, colder has less)
