Cheetah - biology.

animals such as zebras. Unlike most cats, cheetahs hunt during the day, when lions and hyenas that compete with them for prey are less likely to be active. Still,scientists in Tanzania have observed that cheetahs lose 10 to 13 percent of their kills to lions and hyenas. Alerted by the panic of a gazelle herd or by the circling ofvultures, lions and hyenas close in and easily drive the more timid cheetah away from a fresh kill.

'You'd better slip on your pants and run,' he said. He went out. I got up and moved about, listening to him through the wall. He entered the sitting-room, toward the door. 'Aren't you ready yet?' 'Not yet. Run along. I'll make it.' He went out. The door closed. His feet went down the corridor. Then I could hear the watch again.

Si vous aviez été étudiants dans les années 40, on vous aurait appris que les protéines étaient le support de l'hérédité. Décrivez les expérimentations et les arguments qui ont amené à la démonstration que l'ADN était le support de l'hérédité. Vous êtes étudiants en 2011, peut-on encore considérer que tout l'hérédité est contenue dans l'ADN ?

va infecter. Après infection, les bactéries sont séparées du phage puis remises en culture. Hershey et Chase ont alors fait une mesure de la radioactivité dans cesbactéries. Les résultats indiquaient la présence du phosphore. Or, le phosphore était couplé à de l'ADN, ce qui signifie que c'est l'ADN phagique qui a pénétré dansles bactéries, et non le matériel protéique. C'est ainsi qu'aujourd'hui nous savons que l'ADN est le support de l'hérédité dite mendélienne, mais il n'est pas le seul à inte...
