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.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Human males much more likely than human females to inherit the recessive condition hemophilia because it follows X-linked recessive pattern.

Explanation:

Actually hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder i-e the defective genes are located on the X chromosome (sex chromosome) and are transmitted through it. As males have only one X chromosome (inherited from mother), one altered copy of the gene in every cell cause this disease.On the other hand females have 2 X chromosomes thus this disease is rare in females.
