Answer:

Explanation:

In the Hershey and Chase experiment, they aimed to show where the phage DNA went when it exited the protein coat and entered the bacteria. In this scenario, the two student's approach won't work because amino acids (and therefore all proteins) also have nitrogen atoms which ultimately means that the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins and the experiment will not provide the correct results.

Answer:

C.) 26 - 13

Explanation:

During mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S phase so that when the cell divides the daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell had.

DNA replication also occurs during meiosis, but the cell divides twice, so the daughter cells will have half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell had. This is because the daughter cells are sex cells, which combine with another sex cell (either an egg or a sperm) to form one cell with a combined chromosome number.
