Discuss the chain of events that led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. Ans> The chain of events led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. In the late nineteenth century‚ a German biochemist Friedrich Miescher found the nucleic acids which are long-chain polymers of nucleotides‚ and are made up of sugar‚ phosphoric acid‚ and several nitrogen-containing bases. Later it was found

Emulsifiers What does an emulsifier do? Emulsions in food are mixtures of oil and water. These normally do not mix and will separate if left without an emulsifier. Emulsifiers are among the most frequently used types of food additives. They are used for many reasons. Emulsifiers can help to make a food appealing. The example of the mayonnaise without the emulsifier shows how unappealing it would be if the oil and water separated before it was used. Emulsifiers have a big effect on the structure

Hook: Since the dawn of time man has consumed foods which were given to us by nature but now in the modern age we resort to consuming foods which were partly made in a chemist’s beaker. Direction of Arguments: Food additives have were in use for centuries in process of pickling or preserving using vinegar or salt but recently it has taken a turn for the worst invading almost all the processed foods we consume. Arguments: 1. Lead to physiological disorders 2. Are known to cause to foods to

Hypothesis: I predict that the leaves taken from the outer area of a shrub have a higher stomatal index (/density) than those taken from the centre of a shrub this are due to light levels. Explanation: Plants have stomata to obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and remove oxygen produced in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis the chloroplasts in the leaf cells synthesize as a result of exposure to light‚ while oxygen is produced as a by-product. As the outer leafs are exposed to higher light

Genetic Traits Exercise: Introduction: The pioneer of modern day genetics was an Austrian Monk named Gregor Mendel‚ who established the basic laws of heredity from his studies with pea plants in the late 1800s. Mendel’s fundamental genetic principles may be applied to a variety of traits from many different organisms. Each genetic trait‚ such as flower color‚ is regulated by a pair of genes called alleles. These alleles are found at particular places on the chromosomes called loci. During meiosis
