Two students decide to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment with modifications. They decide to label the nitrogen of the DNA,

rather than the phosphate. They reasoned that every nucleotide has only 1 phosphate, but 2-5 to nitrogens so labeling the nitrogens would provide a stronger signal than labeling the phosphates. Why will this experiment fail to show what Hershey and Chase showed?

Answer:

radioactivity will not be able to tell the difference between the DNA and proteins

Explanation:

It seems that the experiment will fail to show what Hershey and Chase showed because they modify some of the aspects. These modifications will cause changes to the results, the main one being that radioactivity will not be able to tell the difference between the DNA and proteins. This is because Amino Acids are proteins that also contain nitrogen atoms, thus labeling the nitrogen would include all DNA and proteins. This being the main reason why Hershey and Chase decided to label the DNA instead.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

1. Weaker

2. Continuous

Explanation:

A tumor suppressor gene codes for retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The retinoblastoma protein binds to transcription factor E2F when DNA damage is detected. The E2F bound to pRb can not stimulate expression of genes that code for proteins required during the process of DNA synthesis. The cell can not enter the S phase.

On the other hand, when the retinoblastoma protein is phosphorylated by cyclin E-CDK2, E2F transcription factor is free to stimulate the expression of genes required for DNA synthesis and the cell proceeds from G1 to S phase.  

When the mutated retinoblastoma gene code for a protein that serves as phosphorylated protein, it will not be able to bind strongly with E2F and there would be continuous expression of genes required for S phase.

What is the outcome of amino acids if someone overeats protein and calories in general?
Alex73 [517]

The outcome of amino acids if someone overeats protein and calories in general is "the amino acids are stored as fat".

<h3>What is amino acid?</h3>

Amino acids are molecules that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life.

You need amino acids for vital processes such as building proteins, hormones, and neurotransmitters.

Amino acids are concentrated in protein-rich foods such as;

  • meat,
  • fish
  • egg
  • soybeans, etc

<h3>What are calories?</h3>

Calorie is a unit of energy. This derived from eating energy giving foods.

Excess calories in the body is often store d as fat.

Thus,  the outcome of amino acids if someone overeats protein and calories in general is "the amino acids are stored as fat".
