Answer:

Tertiary structure

Explanation:

The tertiary structure of a protein includes the overall three-dimensional arrangement of all the atoms of a protein. The amino acid residue located far apart from each other in a protein and have different secondary structures interact and determine the overall folding pattern of the proteins.

Therefore, when any condition such as mad-cow disease causes misfolding of protein, it affects the tertiary structure of the proteins since the overall folding pattern of the protein reflects its tertiary structure.

Describe the means by which Hershey and Chase established that only the DNA of a phage enters an E. coli cell. What conclusions
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Harshey and chase labeled T2 bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and radioactive phosphorus. As DNA contains phosphorus, not protein and protein contain sulfur, not phosphorus, therefore, the presence of radioactivity in cell can determine which is the genetic material .

Then Harshey and Chase infected <em>E.coli</em> with T2 bacteriophage and centrifuged the cell. They found radioactive phosphorus in cell pellet and radioactive sulfur in supernatant.

So by this experiment, they concluded and proved that DNA is the genetic material that gets transfer from one generation to another.

Allen and andrew both have the same biological parents. Why do they not resemble either of there parents
taurus [48]
This can be because of their genetics. The siblings may not have inherited their parents looks, but maybe they inherited their grandparents looks, or even their aunts looks. This is all due to genetics. It's sort of the same thing, when two caucasian parents have an african-american child. That would be because somewhere along the family tree someone was african-american. 
Anyways, I hope this helps!
