Question

A primitive eukaryote was discovered that displayed a unique nucleic acid as its genetic material. Analysis provided the following information:

The general X-ray diffraction pattern is similar to that of DNA, but with somewhat different dimensions and more irregularity.

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, the X ray diffraction analysis by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins demonstrated that blank. So let's recall what we've learned about the X ray diffraction analysis by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins to figure out which of the following it demonstrated. So we know that when the fibers of A D N A molecule are subjected two X ray bombardment, the X rays scatter, meaning they diffract in a pattern that depends on the molecules atomic structure. And so this pattern of diffraction can be captured as spots on photographic film and then it can be analyzed or clues of the shape of the molecules and regularities within. And so this process here refers to that X ray diffraction analysis in which the fibers of a DNA molecule are subjected to extreme bombardment and X rays scattered in a pattern depending on that molecules, atomic structure, which the pattern can be captured as spots on a photographic film and analyzed for clues of the shape of the regularities within that molecule through that process of X ray diffraction analysis. And so between 1950 1953 Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins used this process of X ray diffraction analysis on more purified samples of D N A in which they demonstrated that the structure of D N A was some sort of helix or answer choice, be the correct answer. Because Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins performed X ray diffraction analysis on purified samples of D N A in which they demonstrated that the structure of D N A was some sort of helix which is answer choice B the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
