of DNA from either original or new strands interspersed throughout out the strand (Templin & Fetters 2002). In 1956‚ Meselson and Stahl began to carry out an idea that Meselson had earlier had to investigate the problem by incorporating a heavy isotope into the DNA molecules of a microorganism and tracing the distribution of these atoms into progeny DNA by separating molecules of different density in a centrifuge. The plan of their landmark experiment on DNA

becomes positive as it is giving away electrons to stabilize other atoms. Hence magnesium then becomes Mg2+ because it lost 2 of the 12 electrons. Given that the half-life of the radioisotope Carbon -14 is 5730 years. How useful do you think the isotope would be for dating bones that are over a million years?

Christopher Bisda BIO 101 Week 1 Individual Assignment 02/08/2010 The Process of Science a. Chapter 2: Question 11 How might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in CO2 comes from sugar or oxygen gas? I would substitute with a radioactive isotope of oxygen and run the reaction. Upon observation of the result‚ the oxygen came from what was used if the carbon dioxide is radioactive. If the carbon dioxide is not radioactive‚ then it came from the sugar. b. Chapter

Silicon Element Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14 and atomic mass is 28. It is a tetravalent metalloid‚ less reactive than its chemical analog carbon‚ the nonmetal directly above it in the periodic table‚ but more reactive than germanium‚ the metalloid directly below it in the table. Controversy about silicon’s character dates to its discovery; it was first prepared and characterized in pure form in 1823. In 1808‚ it was given the name silicium‚ with an -ium

The atomic number is seventy nine but Gold has isotopes which are stable and radioactive. A stable isotope is 197 Au and there are 36 radioisotopes with 195 Au. Gold is a dense‚ shiny‚ ductile metal the most characteristic feature is that gold is a metallic yellow color which gives it the gold color. Because of the the color
