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.

ramet defined by merriam-webster dictionary is an independent member of a clone.

wikipedia also define ramet as an individual in a populaion of genet.

You have cloned a gene for an enzyme that degrades lipids in a bacterium that normally lives in cold temps. you wish to use this
GaryK [48]
A) You would have to incorporate that gene into the bacteria's plasmid (genetic information that isn't in its main genome) so that it can use it and express its message. This is done using enzymes that cut that circular plasmid, insert the gene you want, and put the circular molecule back together. Once you have the bacteria with the plasmid in it, you replicate that bacteria, so all the resulting copies will have that gene and they'll express it.

B) If not enough protein is being produced it could be because you don't have enough bacteria, you'd need a bigger population. The medium the bacteria is in also should be optimal so that it can be as efficient as possible.
