For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to

label the nitrogenous base of the DNA, rather than the phosphate. They reasoned that each nucleotide has only one phosphate and two to five nitrogenous bases. Thus, labeling the nitrogenous bases would provide a stronger signal than labeling the phosphates. Why won't this experiment work?

Answer:

Explanation:

The aim of the Hershey and Chase experiment was to show that DNA and not proteins are the genetic material.

Proteins are made up of amino acids which also has a nitrogenous base. Since the whole point of the experiment was to differentiate between the two i.e. show which one is the genetic material, it would be impossible to differentiate between DNA and proteins if the nitrogenous base was labelled.

What effect did the capture of Vicksburg have upon the Confederacy?
Nina [5.8K]
The effect that the capture of Vicksburg had upon the confederacy was that the states west of Mississippi became completely isolated. The Mississippi valley states were no longer considered a great threat. This also opened the doors of invasion for the states that lied to the deep south. Vicksburg was an important place to capture in respect to its geographical position.

When a red 4 o'clock flower with a white flower, all of the offspring are pink. This type of inheritance is known as:_______ a.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

b. incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance that does not confirm to Mendel's principles of inheritance i.e it is non-mendelian. Incomplete dominance occurs when an allele of a gene does not completely mask the expression of another allele of the same gene, hence, the two alleles combine to form a heterozygous that is different but intermediate of both parent phenotypes.

This is the case in this question where the red allele (R) of a four o'clock plant is INCOMPLETELY DOMINANT over the white allele (W), hence, they both produce an intermediate pink phenotype (RW), which is a blending of both red and white phenotypes.
