In a series of experiments, Avery treated heat-killed nonvirulent s bacteria with enzymes that degraded the proteins, dna, and r

na of the s bacteria, then mixed this with nonvirulent r bacteria. S cells grew in all cases except the samples with degraded dna. What did this demonstrate

Answer:

<u><em>C. DNA from the S bacteria is necessary for bacterial transformation to occur.</em></u>

Explanation:

These series of experiments determined that DNA is the genetic material which gives rise to a particular type of cell. As we can see, the S bacteria with degraded proteins were able to grow when the proteins and RNA were degraded. But they were not able to grow when their DNA was degraded. This experiment proved that proteins or RNA are not the genetic material, rather DNA is the material related to inheritance.

ozzi

Answer:

The correct answer is: deposition of interferon on bacterial cells.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is the mechanism by which a cell uses its plasma membrane to ingest a big particle, forming a phagosome within the cell. It's a form of endocytosis used by the <u>immune system to eliminate pathogens such as </u><u>bacteria </u><u>and cell debris</u>.

Phagocytosis can be enhanced through various ways when an infection is taking place in the body. For example, cytokines and TNF are secreted by different kinds of cells to stimulate this process - for these cytokines to be released, certain parts of the bacteria called PAMPs need to be recognized by specific receptors located in phagocytes and epithelial cells called TLRs. Another way to stimulate this mechanism is by depositing complement fragments on bacterial cells, which is done thanks to the Complement cascade, a system of great importance in the innate immune response against extracellular bacteria - these fragments will opsonize ("mark") the pathogens for the phagocytes to recognize them and engulf them.

Interferon, on the other hand, while hugely important on the immune response against viruses and other pathogens that infect our cells by entering them and using their organelles to replicate and translate proteins, is not an enhancer of phagocytosis, as it is mostly involved in the translation of genes that will lead to the infected cell's death.

F a boy exhibits a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome, what must be true?
garik1379 [7]
If a boy exhibits a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosomes, his mother carried at-least one allele for that trait. 
The boy has a X chromosome inherited from his mother and he inherited Y chromosome from his father. So, his mother must carried at least one allele for that trait because he exhibits a sex linked trait that is carried on X chromosome.
