Answer:

The hershey chase experiment on bacteriophages showed the genetic information is carried in <u>DNA.</u>

Explanation:

In 1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase provided evidence that DNA is the genetic material. These scientists carried out an experimental work with the T2 virus, a bacteriophage that infects the Escherichia coli bacteria, which reproduces by attaching itself to the outer wall of the bacteria, injecting its DNA into it where it replicates and directs, the synthesis of phage proteins. Phage DNA is encapsulated within proteins and produces phages, which lyse or break the cell and releasing phage from the progeny. They used radioactive forms (isotopes) of phosphorus and sulfur. A radioactive isotope can be used as a marker to identify the location of a specific molecule, because any molecule that contains the isotope is radioactive and therefore easy to detect. The DNA contains phosphorus, but doesn't contain sulfur, therefore phosphorus-32 was used to mark the DNA, instead the protein has sulfur, but not phosphorus, so sulfur-35 was used. Hershey and Chase found that sulfur-35 is outside the cell while phosphorus-32 was inside, indicating that DNA was the physical support of the inheritance. This work allowed the scientists to conclude that it's the DNA and not the protein that enters the bacteria during phage reproduction and that only the DNA is transmitted to the phage of the progeny.

Insects often act as pollinators for plants. In turn, plants provide these insects with food. What kind of a relationship exists
sesenic [268]
A very strong relationship. I'll take the easiest example :the bees. They are so important for our planet. Without them, we and all living creatures on earth would be on track to dispariton. Let me explain why. At first, the bees need the nectar from flowers to make honey ( source of food ). As they pollen from flower to flower, they transport pollen on their tiny little legs and in this way, they help the plants to reproduce themselves. If, for some reason, there will be no more bees. Plants and flowers will not thrive, plants will be eaten without having contribued to the productivity of the species and they will go out. No plants, no more veggies or fruits for herbivorous and humans, no more herbivorous no more food for carnivorous, etc. Also, without plants, there will be less oxygen on our planet. Slowly the fauna and flora will die on earth and then it will be our turn. That is why relationships with plants and insects are so important. Plants produce oxygen for all of us and they are a natural and healthy source of food and insects help plants to survive and thus save the species.
