ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Which causes the biodiversity of rainforests?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

B. Stable ecosystems

Explanation:

The main cause of the biodiversity experienced in rain forests is largely due to the stable ecosystems that they enjoy.

A stable ecosystem is a sustainable one that does not change too much over the course of time.

Most organisms and the diverse life forms are easily nourished by the provisions made available by nature in such regions.

  • Most rain forest receives a large amount of solar radiation and energy all year round as the sun is directly overhead here.
  • This suggests that the producers have enough energy to cater for their own need and that of the organisms there in.
  • The consumers and decomposers have sufficient food available all year round.
  • This coupled with other factors whereby organisms have specially adapted to environmental conditions makes a rain forest very biodiverse with life forms.
  • An unstable ecosystem cannot be biodiverse

If the pancreas fails to make ,"BLANK" it will inhibit the action of enzymes and affect chemical digestion. Also,"BLANK"  might
seropon [69]

The pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas. This pancreatic juice is secreted into the first part of the small intestine known as the duodenum. This pancreatic juice is rich in various enzymes that help in the digestion of various food components (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). Besides being rich in enzymes, it is also rich in bicarbonate content. The bicarbonate works to neutralize the acidic chyme. This helps the enzymes to function and carry out digestion properly. If the pancreas fails to produce bicarbonate, then the function of enzymes will be altered, and the acidic chyme (coming from the stomach) will damage the small intestine walls.
