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.

Which would least likely be a cause of natural selection?
AnnZ [28]
Evolution would least likely be a cause of natural selection.
Natural selection has to do with the survival of the fittest. Therefore, adaptation, variation, and overpopulation all have an impact on natural selection - those who do not adapt to their new surroundings due to overpopulation or those whose bodies have not modified enough will not survive.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

33 vertebrae

Explanation:

The vertebral column of an adult human being is composed of 33 vertebrae, of which 24 are known as articulating or movable vertebrae, and are separated from each other by an intervertebral disc. The remaining 9 vertebrae lack the intervertebral disc and form two sets of fused structures.

Hope this helps!
