Explain how studying viruses led to the discovery that DNA contains genetic material

Biology
1 answer:
Ainat [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase Experiment:

Viruses, such as T2 Bacteriophage infect by injecting their genetic material into a cell. When Hershey and Chase used radioactive isotopes of sulfur (marking proteins) and phosphorous (marking DNA) and saw which was injected into the cell by the T2 Bacteriophage, sulfur was found outside while phosphorous was found inside the cell. That means that DNA was injected into the cell, not proteins. As the genetic material is injected into the cell to hijack it, and as DNA was injected inside while proteins remained outside, DNA is the genetic material.

What do the migration routes of homo sapiens reveal about their survival skills and ability to adapt?
garik1379 [7]

<span>The migration routes of Homo sapiens reveal that they went through many environmental and physical challenges but adapted everything much quickly in comparison to the other animals. The evolution allowed other species also to adopt these changes but it took them a long time to fit in the new environment, a sub species of a species adopted the new and the previous one could not, but Homo sapiens invented ways and tools to combat and evolve much quickly. It included their living, dietary needs, clothing and much more.</span>

If one strand of a DNA molecule has the sequence of bases 5′-ATTGCA-3′, the mRNA synthesized following the template will be ____
rjkz [21]

If one strand of a DNA molecule has the sequence of bases 5-ATTGCA-3, the mRNA synthesized following the template will be 3-UAACGU-5.

Nucleotides are added to the growing strand one at a time in the precise sequence dictated by the existing  template strand. adenine and thymine are always paired with each other in the Watson-Crick DNA model, and cytosine is always paired with guanine.

The nucleotide sequence of DNA serves as a template for the nucleus, where mRNA is synthesised. The RNA polymerase II enzyme is responsible for this reaction's catalysis and needs nucleotide triphosphates as its substrates. Transcription is what happens in the nucleus when DNA is converted into mRNA. The cytoplasmic synthesis of proteins is controlled by the mRNA. The cytoplasm is where the mRNA that is produced in the nucleus attaches to the ribosomes after being transported from the nucleus. The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA serves as a guide for the assembly of proteins on ribosomes. The cytoplasm receives a "message" from the nucleus via mRNA. The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA, which is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of the messenger RNA, encodes the message.

In which state(s) of matter does diffusion not occur?<br> Explain your answer.
