Assume that you grew a culture of E. coli for many generations in medium containing 15N (from the ammonium ion), a heavy isotope of nitrogen. You extract DNA from a portion of the culture and determine its density to be 1.723 gm/cm3 (call this sample A). You then wash the remaining E. coli cells and grow them for one generation in 14N, extract the DNA from a portion of the culture, and determine its density to be 1.715 gm/cm3 (call this sample B). You let the culture grow for one more generation in 14N and extract the DNA (call this sample C). Each sample of DNA (A, B, and C) is then heated to completely denature the double-stranded structures, cooled quickly (to keep the strands separate), and subjected to ultracentrifugation. Present the centrifugation profiles for heat-denatured DNA (samples A, B, and C) that you would expect. Use the graph below. (Note: Although not the case, assume that single-stranded DNA has the same density as double-stranded DNA.)

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Did you know?

Pregnant women usually experience a heightened sense of smell beginning late in the first trimester. Some experts call this the body's way of protecting a pregnant woman from foods that are unsafe for the fetus.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
