Nitrogen and carbon are more abundant in proteins than sulfur. Why did Hershey and Chase use radioactive sulfur instead of nitro

gen and carbon to label the protein portion of their bacteriophages in their experiments to determine whether parental protein or parental DNA is necessary for progeny phage production?

Answer:

Hershey and Chase experiment confirms that DNA is the genetic material of the living organism, not the RNA or protein. They also got a noble prize for this discovery.

Hershey and Chase use the radioactive sulfur to label the proteins and distinguish them from the DNA because DNA do not contain sulfur. The radioactive label phosphorus was used to label the DNA as phosphorus is specific to DNA as they wants to know exactly the genetic material. They do not use the radioactive carbon and nitrogen because both carbon and nitrogen are present in DNA and RNA. This labeling may produce confused result as it label both DNA as well as protein. The result o radioactive phosphorus and sulfur determines that DNA is the genetic material of the organism.

Which of the following statements about deuterostomes is false? Which of the following statements about deuterostomes is false?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

<h2>All deuterostomes exhibit radial symmetry in their bodies.</h2>

Explanation:

deuterostomes :  All deuterostomes are triploblastic and have 3 layers:

i) endoderm, ii) mesoderm and iii) Ectoderm

In deuterostomes , a mouth that develops separately from the blastopore.

Taxonomically, the deuterostomes  defines as any member of the phyla (Chordata, Hemichordata, Echinodermata, etc) in which the anus appears first,  and it develops at or near the blastopore.

All deuterostomes have a coelom.  

All deuterostomes have a similar pattern of early embryonic development.

(a) Based on the given data for the groups of cells cultured with 0.1% serum (groups 3 to 7), identify which of the four protein
Komok [63]

Answer:

The correct answer is "p18, p21 and p27".

Explanation:

In this experiment, four proteins were blocked and the level of DNA replication was tested in different cell cultures to see which proteins may play a role in cell cycle. Based on the given data we can conclude that p16 is the only protein that appear to have a pivotal role in cell cycle, while p18, p21 and p27 apparently does not. We can conclude this by observing group 7 of cells, were cells have only p16 active and were able to have around 80% of DNA replication.
