How did Hershey and Chase know that it was the DNA that had infected the bacterial cells in their experiment?

Biology
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

In their experiments, Hershey and Chase showed that when bacteriophages, which are composed of DNA and protein, infect bacteria, their DNA enters the host bacterial cell, but most of their protein does not. Hershey and Chase and subsequent discoveries all served to prove that DNA is the hereditary material.

How might an RNA-based genome result in an increased infection rate? What are some potential complications to this infection str
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

I think the question is "How might an RNA-based genome results display an increased in infection rate?" because current statement doesn't convey a message clearly.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to understand first that what is gene expression. Gene expression is a process in which genetic information is transcribed first to RNA and then into proteins. During transcription stage, only active genes would be transcribed to RNA and all other DNA material don't transcribe at all. Now, if there is an infection, host cell would express only those genes which would actively take part in the defense mechanism, e.g. R-genes, genes involved in production of reactive oxygen species, etc. Hence, to monitor the infection rate, we will look at the RNA-based genome. To do this, we will extract the total RNA and then would sequence it. Then we will annotate the genes and check the relative abundance (differential expression). Finally, we would have a clear that these genes were active against the infection. By doing temporal sampling and sequencing, we would be able to measure the rate as well.

For the second part, potential complications that could arise in doing analysis is the lower amount of RNA, or rapid degradation of RNA in case of presence of RNAses. RNA can be degraded easily at room temperature.

The diploid cells of a radish plant contain 18 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in a radish plant's haploid cells?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

9

Explanation:

The diploid chromosome number for a radish is 18 and the diploid chromosome number for cabbage is also 18. The haploid number for these species is nine. Therefore, the gametes of the radish and cabbage contain nine chromosomes.
