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.

Using the images or terms, describe how parts of a cell interact to export proteins.
tino4ka555 [31]
A protein is a large sequence of amino acid that was translated in ribosomes (or rough endoplasmic reticulum) from a mRNA that was transcribed in the nucleus from DNA.
If the protein has an extracellular function (like immunoglobulin) if should be exocytosed from the cell. 
The protein in the cell is driven to the membrane into vesicles that have a specific receptor, which allows, while in contact with the inner side of the cell membrane to open it and let the protein being transported in the extracellular medium.

Inhibitory neurotransmitters such as glycine and GABA make a postsynaptic cell harder to depolarize by allowing what?
Mashutka [201]

Inhibitory neurotransmitters such as glycine and GABA make a postsynaptic cell harder to depolarize by allowing "an influx of Cl-".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The neurotransmitters which have inhibitory influence on the neuron are termed as "Inhibitory neurotransmitters". The major inhibitory neurotransmitters involve serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain and brain stem (spinal cord) respectively.

GABA uptake is temperature and ion-dependent as require both N a^{+} and C l^{-}. Even glycine transporters are also members of the large family of N a^{+} / C l^{-} dependent neurotransmitter transporters. Both of them with the GABA transporters share approximately 50% sequence identity.
