B. It was necessary that each of the two phage components, DNA and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment.
C. Each scientist had his own method for labeling phage, so each conducted the same experiment using a different isotope.

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.

Mirror neurons are believed by some scientists to provide a biological basis for classical conditioning. extrinsic motivation. o
denpristay [2]

Answer:

observational learning

Explanation:

Mirror neurons are the neurons present in the frontal lobes and are responsible for observational learning. The action potential fired by these neurons is identical when a person observes an action and when the same action is being performed by the person itself.  

For example, watching a child when he scores good in the examination, a teacher can sense the pleasure felt by him. This is because the teacher imitates the child in her own imagination and plays out the consequences and thereby understands the feeling of the child.

Explain how the circulatory system of cephalopods is different from that of other mollusks
Korvikt [17]
Cephalopods have a closed circulatory system where blood is transported through vessels. However, most other mollusks have an open circulatory system where blood is not always in vessels, but is spread over the organs.
