a) The osmotic potential (Ys) of soil water is generally negligible because solute concentrations are low

b) In wet soils the Hydrostatic pressure (Yp) of soil water is close to zero

c) In dry soils the Hydrostatic pressure (Yp) of soil water is negligible

d) ) The osmotic potential (Ys) of soil water is generally positive because solute concentrations are low

Use the figure to answer the following question. In the late 1950s, Meselson and Stahl grew bacteria in a medium containing "heavy" (radioactive) nitrogen (15N) and then transferred them to a medium containing 14N (nonradioactive). Which of the results in the figure would be expected after one round of DNA replication in the presence of 14N?

In DNA replication in E. coli, the enzyme primase is used to attach a 5 to 10 base ribonucleotide strand complementary to the parental DNA strand. The RNA strand serves as a starting point for the DNA polymerase that replicates the DNA. If a mutation occurred in the primase gene, which of the following results would you expect?
