For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to

radioactively label the nitrogen of the DNA, rather than the phosphate. They reasoned that each nucleotide has only one phosphate and two to five nitrogen atoms. Thus, labeling the nitrogen atoms would provide a stronger signal than labeling the phosphates. Why won't this experiment work?a. Radioactive nitrogen has a half-life of 100,000 years, and the material would be too dangerous for too long.b. There is no radioactive isotope of nitrogen.c. Although there are more nitrogens in a nucleotide, labeled phosphates actually have 16 extra neutrons; therefore, they are more radioactive.d. Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Answer:

The correct option is D. Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an active constituent of amino acids which make up proteins. Nitrogen is also an active constituent of the nitrogenous bases which make up an organism's DNA.

Phosphorus is actively present in the DNA but amino acids lack phosphorus.

Our body is actively made up of DNA and proteins. If the nitrogen was radioactively labelled, the experimental results would be wrong as proteins also have nitrogen in them.

Answer:

<h2>50% are brown.</h2><h2>50% are green.</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

Given;

B allele is for brown color, so B = brown,

br= red,

bg= green,

by= yellow.

B is dominant over all;

bg is dominant over by;

br is dominant over bg;

by is recessive to all other alleles.

Here,  cross between  brown (B/by) and pure green (bg/bg).

B/by× bg/bg

progeny

Genotype= B/bg, B/bg, by/bg and by/bg.

Phenotype= B/bg= brown;

by/bg= green

So, 1/2 are brown and 1/2 are green.

What should you do to prevent the discharge of untreated waste from a type i or type ii marine sanitation device (msd)?
lara31 [8.8K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

To treat the discharge of untreated waste from a type i or type ii marine sanitation device the following steps should be taken into account;

The “Y” valve must be secured to prevent accidental illegal discharge. This can be done by placing a lock or non-reusable seal on the “Y” valve or by taking the handle off the “Y” valve. Only treated sewage from an approved MSD may be discharged directly overboard.

Answer:

destruction of infected cells by cytotoxic T cells, or the destruction of intracellular pathogens by macrophage

Explanation:

A cell-mediated immune response is an immune response that does not involve antibodies. Cell-mediated immune responses involve the destruction of infected cells by cytotoxic T cells, or the destruction of pathogens by macrophages.

The answer cannot be either of the options involving B cells, as these are involved in the antibody response. The cytotoxic T cells are what actually destroy the infected cells (not helper T cells). Therefore, the answer is destruction of infected cells by cytotoxic T cells, or the destruction of intracellular pathogens by macrophage
