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.

How would gene expression be affected if there was an error in translation(reading instructions)?
Andrews [41]

Gene expression is about making mRNA which is then translated into a protein. If the mRNA that was expressed is mis-read it may or may not have an affect on gene expression. It will have a negative effect if:

1. The protein produced is required for gene expression (e.g. the DNA polymerase)

2. The protein produced is another critical protein that the cell cannot live without.

3. If the question is more about constantly misreading during translation, eventually the cell would die because the wrong proteins would be made (or not made at all).
