A certain bacterium was cultured for several generations in medium containing 15N, transferred to medium containing 14N, and all

owed to complete two rounds of cell division. Given that the bacterium’s genome mass is 5.4 fg when grown in 14N media and 5.5 fg when grown in 15N medium, individual bacteria with which of the following genome masses would most likely be isolated from this culture? A.5.4 fg only B.5.4 fg and 5.45 fg C.5.4 fg and 5.5 fg D.5.45 fg only

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

On seeing the question, it is clear that it is based upon the concept of semi-conservative theory for the replication of DNA. It is mentioned that when the bacteria were grown on N-15, the mass was 55 fg. Now, after two generations, the DNA would comprise N-14 and the mass of them will be 5.4 fg.  

The average mass would be = 5.4 + 5.5 / 2 = 10.9 / 2 = 5.45 fg. The mass of the bacteria isolated from the culture would possibly contain both the masses. That is, the mass of DNA with N-14 only would be 5.4 fg, and the mass of DNA with both N-15 and N-14 would be the average, that is, 5.45 fg.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

of diffusion

Explanation:

Molecules move down a concentration gradient without the need to use energy. This means they move from a high concentration to a low concentration. This occurs across a semi-permeable membrane, like the cell membrane, by simple diffusion.

You sprint as hard as you can until you physically can’t run anymore. Describe the contributions of as many systems as you can t
tamaranim1 [39]

When you are running at high intensity many body systems are being influenced by running and providing some responses in your body.

Running stimulates the cardio respiratory system, making your heart work harder by pumping a large amount of blood into your body, the blood flow starts to be fast and to compensate for this effort you will have to breathe more, taking more oxygen for your organs and tissues.

The muscular and bone systems are stimulated and trained providing greater resistance and strength for your muscles and lower bones.

During the run, the urinary system is also affected, because running is able to improve kidney function, allowing the expulsion of toxic substances from your body to be done more efficiently.

Finally, running stimulates the endocrine system by causing it to release hormones of well-being and relaxation that help you rest and feel good after running.

Why did bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Due to the presence of limited number of species.

Explanation:

Bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains because this island has many animals species which interact with each other or depend on one another due to the presence of less animals for feeding purpose. This island is isolated from the rest of the world so it provide a great opportunity to study the entire food chains that are present at that island. There is less number of species so knowing about their feeding choices is easier for the ecologists.
