If a single bacteriophage infects one E. coli cell present on a lawn of bacteria and, upon lysis, yields 175 viable viruses, how

Answer:

9.378*10^8

Explanation:

The number of phages in each cycle = 175

The number of host infected in each cycle = 175

The number of phages released by each hosts in each turn  = 175

There are total 4 cycle .

So the total number of phages that exist in a single plaque if 3 more lytic cycles occur

= 175*175*175*175\\= 175^4\\= 9.378*10^8

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase's experiment was performed to test whether DNA serves as the genetic material or protein.

To perform experiment they grew bacteriophage into radiolabeled phosphorus and sulfur compounds. The phosphorus is an integral part of the structure of DNA whereas proteins contain sulfur in their structure.  

In the given condition if radiolabeled nitrogen is utilized then the experiment will fail as the structure of proteins also contains an amino group( NH₂) in their structure as well as DNA. The scientist will not be able to identify whether the DNA is the genetic material or protein.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?
OverLord2011 [107]
The greater the amount of active transport carried out by a cell, the greater the amount of mitochondria would be found in the cell.

Active transport uses energy. Mitochondria undergoes aerobic respiration to release large amounts of energy. If the cell is found to be lacking in energy needed for active transport, the cell would adapt by synthesizing more mitochondrion to ensure that it's demand of energy is met.
