Answer:

Harshey and chase labeled T2 bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and radioactive phosphorus. As DNA contains phosphorus, not protein and protein contain sulfur, not phosphorus, therefore, the presence of radioactivity in cell can determine which is the genetic material .

Then Harshey and Chase infected <em>E.coli</em> with T2 bacteriophage and centrifuged the cell. They found radioactive phosphorus in cell pellet and radioactive sulfur in supernatant.

So by this experiment, they concluded and proved that DNA is the genetic material that gets transfer from one generation to another.

How do the numbers of active volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean compare
Vlada [557]
Well the number of volcanoes in the pacific ocean are greater because of the ring of fire. Basically what that is is its a hot spot for volcanoes. There's many located under the water there. Its located in the pacific ocean off the coast of California. I haven't heard of any active volcanoes in the Atlantic. That's all the information I can give. I know this probably doesn't help, sorry.
