In 1953 Watson and Crick were racing other scientists to discover the structure of DNA, and they eventually figured it out. Why were so many people working to discover this structure?

1.) Some people just like to win.

2.) Like climbing mountains, because they are there.

3.) People knew the DNA contained the genetic information of organisms.

4.) It was an accidental discovery.

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

The table shows dates and appearance of index fossils. which rock layers can be dated most precisely? a) a layer containing both a fossil 4 and a fossil 3 b) a layer containing both a fossil 2 and a fossil 3 c) a layer containing both a fossil 1 and a fossil 4 d) a layer containing both a fossil 1 and a fossil 2

Diego conducted an experiment to find out what kind of ball bounces the highest when dropped from a five-foot platform. he used a golf ball, a tennis ball, and a soccer ball. he dropped each ball from the balcony once. diego recorded his observations after each drop. what can diego do to best improve the reliability of his results? a) drop each ball from the platform three more times b) record his observations in more than one unit c) write at least two scientific questions after the experiment is complete d) share his results with other people who have done similar experiments you for the !
