- DNA replication is fast, virtually error-free, and coordinated with celldivision. Discuss which of these three features you think is the mostimportant.arrow_forwardClassifiation of Llfe A new organism was discovered in a deep sea vent at the bottom of the ocean. The researchers collected the sample and made careful observations of it. The picture at right shows a microscopic image captured at 1000X its actual size. Below are some other observations made: • When DNA was isolated from the cell, it was mixed with an equal portion of histone proteins • There are no visible organelles present inside the cell • The specimen seem to die in the presence of oxygen • Able to live in conditions that mimic deep sea vents without any external food source provided Based on these observations, determine each of the following and provide a clear rationale. A) To which domain would you assign this organism? Why? B) Propose a hypothesis of how they obtain nutrients. Are these most likely autotrophs or heterotrophs? Provide a rationale.arrow_forwardYeast artificial chromosome how the synthesised?arrow_forward

I have a practical of HOMOGENIZATION AND FREEZE-DRYING, I need to do a lab report, but I don't know how to write the methodology. Here is the introduction: HomogenizationHomogenization is a process that involves breaking apart cells to release theircytoplasm and its contents. When the purpose is to extract organelles, it is frequentlydone in two steps; first, using a blender to break the tissue up, and then with anultrasonic or mechanical tissue disruptor. The organelles are then generally separatedusing differential centrifugation.Freeze-dryingFreeze-drying also known as lyophilization, and it is a dehydration process typicallyused to preserve perishable material or make the material more convenient fortransport. It works by freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding pressureto allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate directly from the solid phase tothe gas phase.arrow_forward
