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.

The atomic mass of arsenic is 75 atomic mass units; a neutral atom of asennic has 33 electrons. how many neutrons does arsenic n
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

42

Explanation:

Atoms have a neutral charge overall, which means they have an equal numbers of positively-charged protons and negatively-charged electrons. Here, an atom of arsenic with 33 electrons must also have 33 protons.

The mass of any atom is contained in its <em>nucleus</em>, a part made up of protons and neutrons - particles with no charge. Both protons and neutrons are exactly 1 atomic mass unit each, so to find the atomic mass of an atom, we can use the formula

(# of protons) + (# of neutrons) = atomic mass

or equivalently:

atomic mass - (# of protons) = (# of neutrons).

For arsenic, we have an atomic mass of 75 amu and 33 protons, so using our formula:

# of neutron = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons
