Bacterial cells have only one DNA molecule, which is double stranded and is replicated in essentially the same fashion as in eukaryotes
Imagine that, following the techniques of other scientists studying DNA, you created a bacterial cell that contains only radioactive nitrogen in its DNA. You then place the cell in a culture medium containing only "regular" (nonradioactive) nitrogen. Based on this scenario and your knowledge of DNA structure and replication, how many cells will contain some DNA with radioactive nitrogen after four rounds of cell replication? A) 16 B) 1 C) 2 D) 4 E) 8

Which of the following statements is false?
A. Decreasing levels of oxygen in the blood are detected by chemoreceptors in the brainstem. B. Breathing is controlled by both voluntary and involuntary mechanisms. C. Chemoreceptors involved in the homeostatic control of breathing are located in the brainstem and the carotid and aortic bodies. D. Stronger or more frequent contraction of respiratory muscles helps to remove excess CO2 from the blood. E. As an organism's activity level increases, the level of CO2 in the blood will increase and stimulate faster or stronger breathing.
