The Hershey–Chase experiment was based on a bacteriophage T2 (a virus), to that DNA is the genetic material. Bacteriophage T2 attacks bacterium and makes its copies. Based on the experiment, Hershey and Chase deduced that it is the DNA of virus enters bacteria to make virus copies. To trace viral DNA, Hershey and Chase label DNA with ³²P (radioisotope of phosphorus) because phosphorus is not present in most of the proteins.

Answer:

The correct answer is- Radioactive phosphorus 32

Explanation:

Harshey and chase labeled the T2 bacteriophage capsid with radioactive sulfur 35 and DNA of T2 bacteriophage with radioactive phosphorus 32. After infecting E.coli with the T2 bacteriophage it was seen that radioactive phosphorus was found inside the cell, not radioactive sulfur.

As phosphorus is found prominently in DNA, not protein, therefore, it was concluded that DNA is the genetic material that passed from T2 phage to bacteria, not protein.

Therefore the material that entered E.coli upon T2 bacteriophage infection was DNA which was labeled with a radioactive isotope of phosphorus.

Based on the above sources, the most economical to use is the hydroelectric, since there is a fast-moving current in the river. Also, it is the commonly used energy-generation process. For wind turbine, it would require a minimum of 8kph to power the wind turbine, in this case is not sufficient. Coal deposit is not likely an option because this has some environmental concerns. Solar is not also an option since the village frequently has rainy days.

What is the physical state of dna after being denatured by heat?
navik [9.2K]
I believe when DNA is denatured by heat, hydrogen bonds are separated to create single stranded DNA. When the DNA solution is heated enough, The double stranded DNA unwinds, and the Hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together weaken and finally break. The process of breaking a double-stranded DNA into single strands is known as DNA denaturation, or DNA melting.
