Hershey and Chase used the 35S isotope to label proteins. How does this isotope differ from the 32S isotope found in greatest na

tural abundance, and why did they choose 35S instead of 32S?
A. 35S has more protons than 32S; Hershey and Chase used it because it has a greater mass.

B. 35S has fewer protons than 32S; Hershey and Chase used it because it is radioactive and can be easily traced.

C.35S has more neutrons than 32S; Hershey and Chase used it because it is radioactive and can be easily traced.

D. 35S has fewer neutrons than 32S; Hershey and Chase

Answer:

The correct answer would be C. ³⁵S has more neutrons than ³²S; Hershey and Chase used it because it is radioactive and can be easily traced.

Sulfur-35 (³⁵S) is one of the isotopes of the sulfur which has 16 protons (same as sulfur-32) but 19 neutrons as compared to the 16 neutrons of sulfur-32.

It is a radioactive isotope which breaks down by beta-decay and gets converted into ³⁵Cl.

They used ³⁵S for radioactive labeling of the protein coat of the bacteriophage. It helped them to trace the movement or transfer of protein efficiently.

What is the best way to prevent information from being lost when working on an important document?
Ivenika [448]
We should save the document regularly when working on the document. If the app breaks down, you'll still have the file with your progress. To be extra safe, save the document in multiple places including the computer itself, also your USB drive. just so in case if the computer breaks down, you still have your USB drive.
