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.

Evolution is the change in heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations.

What is evolution of life?

  • Evolution has produced the variety of life that exists on Earth today. Since life first emerged on Earth between 3.5 and 4 billion years ago, it has continued to develop.
  • At initially, there were just single-celled, primitive species on Earth.
  • The first multicellular organisms appeared much later, and as a result, the diversity of life on Earth significantly increased.
  • Darwin put out a substantial amount of evidence to back up his idea of evolution by natural selection.
  • Evolution is the gradual alteration of a living thing's traits over time. Natural selection is the process of evolution.
  • Through their DNA, organisms transmit their traits from one generation to the next.

A. They are heterotrophs and must find food to eat.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is -C. They are ALL parasites that harm their host by living in or on it.

Explanation:

Protists are organism shows the vast difference and have a single cell microscopic eukaryotic cell. These are based on their characteristics similar to plants or animals divide them into two groups called plant-like protists and animal-like protists.

Animal-like protists are also a eukaryotic unicellular organism that depends on other organisms for their food so they are called heterotrophs. Some of these organisms also parasites and affect their host negatively. These are also organisms that are live symbiosis and help other organisms.
