Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.
Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.
In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element
In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.
The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.
These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.
Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.

Answer:
Tectonic plate movement is a long-term environmental change.
Explanation:
Tectonic plate movement is a type of movement in which plates of the earth moves on another. Due to this movement, earthquakes occurs which adversely effected the environment of the earth surface. Due to these tectonic plate movement, eruption of volcano occurs which helps in the formation of new mountains and we know that mountains change the climate. These movements causes long-term environmental change because it changes the environment slowly and takes more time to change it.

Sea stars (or starfish) feed off the oyster beds. If the oyster beds were destroyed it would deplete the major food source of the sea stars and they would begin to diminish.
