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.

Dodder is a parasitic plant, which has roots for support and absorption of nutrients from the host plant. what kind of roots are
devlian [24]
Dodder is a parasitic plant which has A. HAUSTORIAL ROOTS for support and absoption of nutrients from the host plant.

Dodder can not live alone. It grows from a seed and sprout from the ground but if it does not find a host within 10 days, it will die.

When the Dodder finds its host, it twines itself in a counter-clockwise direction around the stem of its host. The Dodder stem has bumps called "haustoria". These bumps are tightly pressed against the stem of the host plant and said bumps will eventually push their way inside the hosts' stem to pull the nutrients it needs to survive to the detriment of the host plant.

Dodder plant may be parasitic but it does not kill its own host instead it causes the growth of the host to be stunted.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

By stopping the synthesis of proteins.

Explanation:

Streptomycin combines with the bacteria's ribosomes causing them to lose their function, the cells die and actually, this antibiotic destroys all the bacteria by stopping the synthesis of protein bacteria.

This antibiotic is blocking the development of bacteria. Streptomycin was used to fight tuberculosis and it's been made from the micro-organism <em>Actinobacterium Streptomyces griseus. </em>
