In Hershey and Chase’s experiment investigating which biological molecule carries genetic information, they found that phage DNA

with radiolabeled phosphorus was retained in bacterial cells after transduction. To conclude that DNA is the genetic material, what assumption did they have to make?
A. Protein does not enter the bacterium during transduction.

B. DNA does not stay in the media after transduction.

C. All of the phage DNA was radiolabeled.

D. Bacteria can be transduced by phage.

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. Protein does not enter the bacterium during transduction.

In their experiment, Hershey and Chase labeled protein coat as well as DNA of the bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and phosphorus respectively.

They concluded that DNA was the genetic material as only radioactive phosphorous was found in the bacteria after transduction.

In addition, radioactive sulfur or protein was not found in the bacterial cells and thus, they could conclude that protein was not genetic material.

Thus, presence of viral DNA and absence of viral proteins were both required in order to conclude that DNA was the genetic material.

Zigmanuir [339]
The plant's production of high-energy sugars would reduce significantly. I'm not going to say that the plant would completely stop producing the sugars because it has to respire, and one product of respiration would be carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide would be recycled so that the plant can photosynthesize and produce sugars.

YES THAT FIRST SENTENCE IS VERY TRUE.YES, GENE DOPING IS USED BY MANY ATHLETES AROUND THE WORLD.IT CAUSES SEVERAL EFFECTS LIKE:
 a) increased extraordinary hematocrit
 b) increased thrombotic activity
 c) autoimmune anemia,ETC.
 ANY TWO GENETIC MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ATHLETE ARE:
 a.gene therapy should be given to produce more hormones in the body.
 b. gene therapy is given to athletes because they have been used to study and model cancer (the oncomouse), obesity, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, substance abuse, anxiety, aging and Parkinson disease to check for the athletes.
