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.

Na has two strands. of the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine
konstantin123 [22]
Yes, because each of the four nucleotide bases present in DNA have a corresponding base: adenine bases always pair with thymine bases, and cytosine bases always pair with guanine bases. For example, if one strand of a DNA molecule was CTAGGT, the sequence of the second strand would be, from left to right, GATCCA.

The main function of the small intestine is nutrient absorption. Which of the following structural qualities of the intestine in
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.

So were is the genetic material find in a prokaryotic cell
tiny-mole [99]
Endomembrane system -- not in prokaryotes
cytoskeleton -- a structural part of cytoplasm sometimes occurrent in prokaryotes
mitochondria -- not in prokaryotes 
nucleus -- if this is a "membrane-bound" nucleus, then definitely not in prokaryotes
cytoplasm -- this is the fluid that houses everything in the cell membrane
flagella -- little "tail" for locomotion, so no
cilia -- similar to flagella, little feelers usually for locomotion 
ribosomes -- these make protein using amino acids
chloroplasts -- not in prokaryotes
membrane -- just a casing surrounding a cell or organelle
organelles -- general word for the parts of a cell that perform various functions
cell membrane -- just the casing for the cell, not where genetic material's located
<span>nucleoid --- ding ding ding :-) this is it; a nucleoid is the genetic material which is loosely existing in the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell</span>
