A segment of DNA has the following sequence:TTGGATGCTGAACCTACGACA. What would the sequence be immediately after reaction withnitrous acid? Let the letters H represent hypoxanthine and Urepresent uracil.B. Let’s suppose this DNA was reacted with nitrous acid. Thenitrous acid was then removed, and the DNA was replicated fortwo generations. What would be the sequences of the DNAproducts after the DNA had replicated two times? (Note:Hypoxanthinepairs with cytosine.) Your answer should containthe sequences of four double helices.
What is the correct order for the steps of transformation given inthe following list?1. Recombination with the bacterial chromosome2. Binding of a large DNA fragment to the surface of a bacterialcell3. Cutting a large DNA fragment into smaller pieces4. Uptake of DNA into the cytoplasm5. Degradation of one of the DNA strandsa. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5b. 2, 3, 5, 4, 1c. 2, 3, 4, 5, 1d. 2, 5, 4, 3, 1
Researchers are designing several experiments to test the ability of Salmonella bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance. A culture of Salmonella bacteria is exposed to the same concentrations (200 mg/L) of an antibiotic for four days. The table shows the number of isolated resistant bacteria over a four-day period. Which of the following statements best explains these results? A - The bacteria were not affected by the antibiotic. B - After being exposed to the antibiotic, the bacteria altered their DNA. C - A new species of bacteria emerged after the antibiotics were introduced. D - Random mutations led some bacteria to be resistant and, over time, they increased in the population.
Why were you able to see the DNA after adding the ethanol? What chemical process led to the visible masses of DNA? Why would some students have seen more DNA from their cheek cells at this step compared with other students?
If Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty had found that samples of heat-killed bacteria treated with RNase and DNase transformed bacteria, but that samples treated with protease did not, what conclusion would they have drawn? a. Protease carries out transformation. b. RNA and DNA are the genetic materials. c. Protein is the genetic material. d. RNase and DNAse are necessary for transformation
During transformation a cell usually incorporates only one or afew fragments of DNA. Explain.

DNA polymerase III can synthesize new DNA at a rate of 1000 bases per second. The genome of Escherichia coli is about 4,600,000 base pairs in length. How long should it take to replicate the E. coli genome? E. coli is known to divide in about 20 minutes. Given your previous answer, how can E. coli do this?
Beadle and Tatum a-showed that DNA was genetic material b-established that there was a relationship between genes and enzymes c-worked with e coli d- none of the above
Why is the following statement fals? RNA polymerase is a dangerous enzyme to the cell because it does not proofread as well as DNA polymerase
