The Hershey and Chase experiments showed that the inherited genetic material was DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids). In this experiment, the scientists labelled the DNA molecule with a radioactive isotope of phosphorus.

Centrifugation causes the separation of different components according to their size. So, by blending, they centrifugated the mixture of virus and the bacteria, which separated the viral protein capsule and the bacteria. Later, they found that the virus infected bacteria contains the DNA of bacteria, not the protein.

Hence, bacterial cultures infected with a virus were agitated in a kitchen blender to separate the protein coat of virus from the bacteria.

What happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Body functions stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) include sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation. The PSNS primarily uses acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter. Peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may also act on the PSNS as neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is composed mainly of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves.
