A researcher incubates a cell with radiolabeled amino acids. These amino acids are incorporated into the proteins as they are synthesized by the cell. Select which piece of data would indicate the incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids during protein synthesis? A)Radioactivity levels would increase first at the nucleus, followed by the Golgi, and then the cell membrane. B)Radioactivity levels would increase first at the nucleus, followed by the ribosomes, and then the secretory vesicles. C)Radioactivity levels would increase first at the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the Golgi, and then the secretory vesicles. D)Radioactivity levels would increase first at the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the nucleus, and then the secretory vesicles.

In the 1600's, Robert Hooke, and English scientist, used a crude microscope to examine bits of cork. Cork is derived from the bark layer of certain trees. Upon seeing the cork under the microscope, Hooke named the spaces within the cork 'cells', because they looked like empty rooms of a monastery. Although he coined the term cell, an ironic feature of cork is that it is dead plant material. Knowing this, what feature of cells would Robert Hooke NOT have been able to observe under the microscope while looking at cork?

Humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans are members of a clade called the great apes, which shared a common ancestor about fifteen million years ago. Gibbons and siamangs comprise a clade called the lesser apes. Tree-branch lengths indicate elapsed time.Assuming chimps and gorillas are humans' closest relatives, removing humans from the great ape clade and placing them in a different clade has the effect of making the phylogenetic tree of the great apes _____.A) polyphyleticB) paraphyleticC) monophyleticD) into a new order

"You begin an experiment with two populations of E. coli that are each composed of 100 cells. The cells are all genetically identical (i.f., they are clones). You grow these populations in flasks on a lab bench under identical conditions with sufficient resources for the survival of all individuals. What process will introduce genetic variation into these populations?"
