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:

The correct answer is 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 chase in his experiment lebelled the T₂ bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and radioactive phosphorus separately. Then they infect E.coli with T₂phage and separated phage from bacteria by centrifugation.

Because DNA contains phosphorus not protein, cells infected with phage containing radioactive phosphorous showed radioactivity bacause DNA enters the cell not protein confirming DNA is the genetic material and radioactive sulfur was found in supernatant.

malfutka [58]
The advantage of using a binormal nomenclature in the system of classification is it formally names animals of a species of living things by giving a two-part name which either is based on Latin or other languages. One Part is used to classify the genus and the second part of the specific name. An example of this would be Homo sapiens (for humans).

In some large groups of plants, including dandelions, oaks, and willows, the biological species concept is complicated because t
Ber [7]

Answer:

A) hybridization; morphospecies

Explanation:

The biological species concept is the concept which can define a species as an individual of a large population which can interbreed and produce an offspring in a population. The concept was given by Ernst Mayr.

Morphospecies refers to the species which can be characterised by the differences in their morphological features like in the Oak, willows and the dandelions.

The biological species concept is not valid or complicated in the case of the morphospecies like in the Oak, willows and the dandelions as the individuals of these three population can exchange their genes through the process of hybridization.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

What posture is a dog displaying if she is leaning away from your, body lowered, ears back, tail down, showing whites of her eye
Brrunno [24]

Answer: Fearful and worried posture

Explanation:

Since dogs cannot talk, their body languages are used to interpret whatever emotion or feeling they may be experiencing.

When a dog is afraid, she tries to look small. She lowers her body and and leans away so that her center of gravity is over her hind legs to  make a quick retreat easy. She also puts her tail down and ears flattened back to her skull. Her eyes also look rounder than normal and she shows the whites of her eyes (whale eyes).

All these tell that a dog is scared and worried or feeling tense.
