Nucleotides can be radiolabeled before they are incorporated into newly synthesized dna and, therefore, can be assayed to track their incorporation. in a set of experiments, a student-faculty research team used labeled t nucleotides and introduced these into a culture of dividing human cells at specific times. use the following information to answer the question below. the research team used their experiments to study the incorporation of labeled nucleotides into a culture of lymphocytes and found that the lymphocytes incorporated the labeled nucleotide at a significantly higher level after a pathogen was introduced into the culture. they concluded that
a. their tissue culture methods needed to be relearned
b. infection causes lymphocyte cultures to skip some parts of the cell cycle
c. infection causes cell cultures in general to reproduce more rapidly
d. the presence of the pathogen made the experiments too contaminated to trust the results
e. infection causes lymphocytes to divide more rapidly

e. infection causes lymphocytes to divide more rapidly

Explanation:

The cell cycle includes interphase and M phase which in turn together produce daughter cells from the existing parent cells. DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase to ensure that the daughter cells obtain the identical DNA present in the parent cell.

Lymphocytes are one of the types of white blood cells and are involved in cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immune responses. These cells are present in the blood as well as in lymphatic tissues. During the given experiment, lymphocytes exhibited a higher rate of incorporation of labeled nucleotide after the introduction of a pathogen in the culture. This suggests that the introduction of pathogen triggered the cell division in lymphocytes to produce more lymphocytes to fight the infection.

explanation:

kim antonie lode clijsters[1] (dutch pronunciation: [kɪm ˈklɛistərs] (about this soundlisten); born 8 june 1983) is a belgian former professional tennis player. clijsters was a world no. 1 in both singles and doubles, having held both rankings simultaneously in 2003. she won a total of six grand slam tournament titles, four in singles and two in doubles.

clijsters competed professionally from 1997 to 2012 in an era where her primary rivals were compatriot justine henin and 23-time grand slam singles champion serena williams. coming from a country with limited success in men's or women's tennis, clijsters became the first belgian player to attain the no. 1 ranking. together with henin, she established belgium as a leading force in women's tennis as the two of them led their country to their first fed cup crown in 2001 and were the top two players in the world in late 2003. individually, clijsters won 41 singles titles and 11 doubles titles on the women's tennis association (wta) tour. she was a three-time winner of the wta tour championships. between singles and doubles, she was a champion at all four grand slam tournaments, winning the us open and the australian open in singles and wimbledon and the french open in doubles with ai sugiyama. her success at majors was highlighted by winning three consecutive appearances at the us open.

plagued by injuries and having lost some of her desire to compete, clijsters initially retired from tennis in 2007 at the age of 23 to get married and have a daughter. she returned to the sport two years later and won her second us open title as an unranked player in just her third tournament back. she defended her title the following year and then won the australian open in 2011 en route to becoming the first mother to be ranked no. 1 by the wta. along with margaret court, she also holds the record for most grand slam singles titles won as a mother with three and was the first to win one since evonne goolagong cawley in 1980. she officially retired from professional tennis after the 2012 us open.

clijsters was born to athletic parents with backgrounds in professional football and gymnastics. she was renowned for her athleticism, which was highlighted by her ability to perform splits on court in the middle of points. she built the offensive side of her game around controlled aggression while also using her exceptional movement to become an elite defensive player. clijsters was very popular and well-liked as a player, having won the karen krantzcke sportsmanship award eight times. she was inducted into the international tennis hall of fame in 2017.
