A) a scientist cultures e. coli in the presence of a radioactive phosphate source. after growing the culture for 2 hours, she grinds up the e. coli and separates the bacterial dna from the proteins. which sample will contain most of the radioactivity and why?
b) the experiment is repeated, but this time, the bacteria are grown in the presence of radioactive sulfate instead of phosphate. which sample will contain the radioactivity and why?

After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow. researchers have created a robot that has a very thin leg that is moved by cardiac (heart) cells contracting in unison. the robot, made of a polymer similar to that used in making contact lenses, is bathed in heart cells with supporting cells, which then attach to the robot and provide movement as they contract. all of the cardiac cells working together can cause the robot leg to move in a way that individual cells could not. this is an example of a. emergent properties of cells. b. energy flow through an ecosystem. c. adaptation. d. internal environment regulation.

Which best describes how the common cold spreads in the human body? a bacteria burst out of normal cells killing them b viruses replicate inside respiratory cells c bacteria inject dna into normal cells d viruses insert dna into bacteria

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
