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.

1. What interactions affect protons in an atomic nucleus? More than one answer may be correct.
irga5000 [103]
A=
In the nature there are four fundamental forces, namely nuclear force, electromagnetic force, weak force, and gravitational force. These forces are arranged with respect to their strengths in descending order.
The nuclear forces are of greater strengths.
These bind up the protons and the neutrons in an atom together. The nuclear forces are strong enough to combine the quarks that form the nucleons.

B= The weak forces of the interaction are the forces that are short ranged and cause the instability of the nucleus. These are 1/10^5 times of the nuclear forces.

C= The electromagnetic forces are the forces that which combine the atoms and the molecules that intend form the ordinary matter. The electromagnetic forces are 1/10^5times of the nuclear forces.

D= The gravitational forces are 1/10^5 times of the nuclear force.

Of the given possible statements, the one that best supports that a newly discovered species is that the animal's body temperature increased when the ambient temperature increased. An exothermic animal relies on eternal temperatures to keep warm and so a rise in ambient temperatures would cause a rise in internal temperatures of the animal. Therefore, the answer is a.
