B. The bacteria were in the pellet, and they had incorporated radioactive proteins into their cell membranes.
C. The radioactive protein coats of the viruses were in the pellet.
D. The radioactive viruses (coats plus DNA) were in the pellet.

Answer:

<h2>Hershey and Chase conducted a series of experiments in order to prove that DNA is the genetic material.</h2>

Explanation:

In this experiment, sulphur-35 and phosphorous-32 were used to radioactively label protein and DNA respectively. The bacteriophage (viruses that infects the bacteria) were allowed to infect the <em>E. coli </em>and it was found that bacterial pellets contains P-32 in their DNA and not S-35. This indicates suphur is not found in DNA, it is present in protein. This experiments proves that DNA is the genetic material and not protein.

So, the correct option is A.

How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?
mario62 [17]
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

Mammals produce milk to nurse their young. In humans, which hormone controls milk production?
DedPeter [7]

Answer: C. Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone that controls milk production together with oxytocin. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes prolactin and the posterior lobe secretes oxytocin when a baby suckles at the breast. The level of prolactin in the blood slowly increases during pregnancy, and stimulates the growth and development of the mammary tissue, in preparation for the production of milk after delivery.

Moreover, Prolactin is in the highest level in about 30 minutes after the beginning of the feed, which is most important for producing milk for the next feed.
