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.

How does gene flow prevent a population for adapting to its environmenta
romanna [79]

gene flow or migration between two populations will help maintain similarities between the species, therefore preventing (or slowing down) the process of speciation. and when the environment changes rapidly, this can cause an overall decrease in population size because of a failure to adapt adequately to environmental changes. i hope this helped <3

how do engineers use models and earthquakes simulations to test designs for earthquake resistant buildings and structure
Oksana_A [137]

In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.

<u>Explanation:</u>

They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.

Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.
