Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.7PS
Wrong Again. Explain why each of the following statements is false:
(a) Because of the physical nature of light, resolution of cellular structures smaller than 200 nm can never be achieved.
(b) Fluorescence microscopy can allow us to visualize cells but cannot help identify them.
(c) Because all DNA molecules have similar chemical composition, it is not possible to separate and characterize individual DNA molecules.
(d) The best way to carry out a scientific experiment is to try to prove a hypothesis by varying all the relevant conditions.
(e) The flow of genetic information is always from DNA to RNA to protein.

Thanks.arrow_forwardBackground: DNA nucleotides (i.e A, T, G, and C) are naturally found in a paired, or bonded, arrangement (i.e. the double helix) within the nucleus of every cell. This structure makes the process of replication that occurs prior to mitosis and meiosis very reliable. The purpose of DNA, though, is not simply to make copies of itself, but to provide a set of instructions for the synthesis or "construction" of biomolecules, such as proteins. Why is transcription (i.e. the formation of an RNA copy of a given gene) a necessary step in the "construction" process highlighted above? What is the cell looking to ultimately do with this RNA information?arrow_forwardName the three major assumptions made by the "Cell theory". (i) The lipid membrane is composed of lipid molecules. Explain the principle of membrane formation highlighting the role of the physical properties of the lipids. (ii) Comparing dimensions and length scales is often a first step in an analysis. Give an approximate value for the thickness of a lipid bilayer and the linear length of a helical turn of a DNA double helix.arrow_forward

- Consider the structure and function of DNA. Which of the following statements is TRUE? Because DNA contains carbohydrates, it provides structural support to the cells. The phosphodiester bonds that stabilize the association of the two strands are easily broken and reformed. If the sequence of one DNA strand is known, then the sequence of the other strand can be determined. Because DNA is made of phosphate groups that are ionized, it could easily pass through a cell membrane.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about electron microscopy are true? a) Most existing protein structures have been resolved using electron microscopy b) Electron microscopy is not used in structural biology as it can not give as high a resolution as X-ray crystallography and NMR c) The smaller a protein, the easier it is to solve its structure with electron microscopy d) By taking pictures of the same protein frozen in ice thousands of times and then adding them together, you get a high-resolution image of the protein e) The first protein structure with true atomic resolution was solved using electron microscopy last yeararrow_forwardINSTRUCTION: Given the DNA sequence below, provide the answers to the following items. a. complimentary DNA strand 1.)
