As a researcher, you were asked to grow a cell in a medium containing radioactive nucleotides, which then get incorporated into DNA. Upon later examination, the radioactivity appeared to be concentrated in the

A-		nucleus.
B-		endoplasmic reticulum.
C-		plasma membrane.
D-		peroxisome.

Expert Solution

Ans) Nucleus

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material and carries the genetic information from one generation next generation. It restores the species identity. The Double helical model of DNA was given by the James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 based on the Chargoff’s rules and X-ray diffraction data of Wilkins and Franklins. According to them, two polynucleotide chains run twist around each other form right-handed double helix. Each nucleotide made up of a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar, phosphate moiety.

The nucleus is a master control center of the cell and it was first discovered by the Robert Brown. It is a membrane-bound organelle harbor the genetic material called DNA. The integrity of DNA is maintained by the nucleus.

When the cells are grown in radioactive nucleotides containing a medium, all the radioactive nucleotides are incorporated into the DNA, which is located in the nucleus so most of the radioactivity concentrated in the nucleus of the cell.

3. Assume that a bacterial culture is grown on medium containing radioactive thymine until essentially all of the thymine in the DNA is radioactive. Then the bacteria with labeled T were washed and transferred to a medium containing nonradioactive T for one round of replication. Given the four double stranded sequences below, which one is likely to represent the replicated double stranded structure? Note: A,C,T,G represent typical nucleotides, and 3T represents labeled T.) 1 2 3 4 One strand A...

5) (6pts) You were asked to perform a cell count from a vial of cells. In order to do so, you mixed 10uL of cells from your vial and 10uL of trypan blue in a tube and then loaded 10uL onto a hemocytometer. The image below shows photographs you took of each quadrant on the hemocytometer. After counting cells in each quadrant, answer the following questions below and SHOW OR EXPLAIN YOUR WORK PLEASE. A. (1pt) What is the live...

In a Survey people were asked to report their level of Math Anxiety as High, Medium, Low or None. The table below reflects the results. The question is: Is there evidence that the level of math anxiety is different for female and male students at the α = 0.1 level of significance? Perform a Test for Homogeneity of Proportions. High/Medium Low/None Female 19 9 Male 12 8

20. Stem Cell Survey Adults were randomly selected for a Newsweek poll. They were asked if they “favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells ob- tained from human embryos.” Of those polled, 481 were in favor, 401 were opposed, and 120 were unsure. A politician claims that people don’t really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 120 subjects...
