The Hershey and Chase experiments involved the preparation of two different types of radioactively labeled phage. Which of the f

ollowing best explains why two preparations were required?
A. The bacteriophage used in the experiments was a T2 phage.
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.
D. Establishing the identity of the genetic material required observation of two phage generations.

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.

Suppose that an arginine residue in the active site of an enzyme was mutated to alanine. As expected, the alanine mutant was ina
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Alanine to lysine.

Explanation:

Mutation may be defined as the sudden, heritable change in the genome sequence of an organism. Two main types of mutation are chromosomal mutation and point mutation.

The mutation has occurred in which the arginine is replaced by alanine. The mutation that can restore to wild type is the conversion of alanine with lysine.    Since both arginine and lysine are basic amino acids. They both shows almost similar function and the replacement of lysine with alanine shows the wild type activity.

Thus, the answer is alanine to lysine.
