While doing research on deep-sea vents, you discover a very simple new life form. After some initial analysis, you find that thi
s life form contains small fragments of DNA, small complementary RNA fragments, and proteins. Fortuitously, you collected two strains, one that is purple and one that is yellow. You wish to discover which of those three molecules could be the genetic material. You heat-kill some of the purple life form and subject three different homogenized samples to different enzymes: DNase, RNase, or protease. Which treated sample(s) will transform yellow into purple IF RNA is the genetic material
<em>The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with </em><em>DNase </em><em>and </em><em>protease</em><em> respectively.</em>
<u>The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.</u>
The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.
A. Chemical modification may allow for extended drug capacities such as expanded spectrum of activity and increased stability.
Explanation:
Any modification in antibiotic structure and chemical will affects its ability in a way to increase it capability of target microbes and act efficiently. These modification can increase half life and stability of the drug.
