In 1967 a penicillin-resistant pneumonia, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and called pneumococcus, surfaced in a remote villa

ge in Papua, New Guinea.
At about the same time American military personnel in southeast Asia were acquiring penicillin-resistant gonorrhea from prostitutes. By 1976, when the soldiers had come home, they brought the new strain of gonorrhea with them and physicians had to find new drugs to treat it.

In 1983 a hospital-acquired intestinal infection caused by the bacterium Enterococcus faecium joined the list of bacteria that could not be killed by penicillin.
Which of these BEST describes why certain bacteria have become resistant to penicillin?
A) The penicillin in the 1970's was much weaker that the penicillin used today, thus it was not as effective.
B) Penicillin was not effective in treating any bacterial diseases, so the doctors had to find new treatments.
C) These new bacterial strains came out of the jungles and forests already equipped to be penicillin-resistant.
D) Penicillin was so heavily prescribed by doctors that it led to certain, more fit, strains of bacteria to be able to survive.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

B. It was necessary that each of the two phage components, DNA and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment.

Explanation:

Hershey and Martha Chase used radiolabeled the DNA of some of the bacteriophage cells with phosphorus (32P). They radiolabeled the sulfur (35S) of the coat protein in the second batch of the phage cells. They infected some of the bacterial cells with phage having radiolabeled DNA while the other <em>E. coli</em> cells were infected with the phage carrying radiolabeled coat protein. This allowed the clear identification of the radiolabelled molecule (DNA or protein) present in the host cell.

They observed that the <em>E. coli </em>cells infected with phage having radiolabeled DNA exhibited the radioactivity while the other batch of the host cell did not show it.
