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.

1. Two genetically identical copies of DNA

2. Finds an error in DNA, removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.

4. DNA helicase unwinds DNA double helix and Topiosomerase ensure there isn't too much unwinding.

5. Replication has a built on proofreading system - DNA polymerase removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

a. the rough endoplasmic reticulum

Because it is the site of protein synthesis.  

and all of the other organelles have no relation to protein and handling especially peroxisomes which detoxifies h202 and helps with intracellular digestion similar to the lysosomes and microtubules only function is for locomotion of prokaryotic cells and some eukaryotic cells like the sperm cell also they make up spindle fibers used to bind and separate chromosomes/chromatids in mitosis and meiosis.
