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.

NO SCAM FILES!!! Hey! i need help! Can you help me with this?? 30 points and brainlest!
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Regulation / Homeostasis  you get too hot or too cold:

  If you get either too hot or too cold, sensors in the periphery and the brain tell the temperature regulation center of your brain—in a region called the hypothalamus—that your temperature has strayed from its set point.

Your diaphragm expands and contracts so you can breathe:

  When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

 

Nutrient Absorption

The reactants needed for cellular respiration are taken in and transported to your cells:

cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells.

Defense from Illness

A pathogen enters your body through a cut:

The skin and mucous membranes act as a physical barrier preventing penetration by microbes. If the skin is cut then the blood produces a clot which seals the wound and prevents microbes from entering.

Defense from Injury

A bunny is running away from a wolf:

Rabbits have keen senses of smell, sight and hearing, which help them defend themselves from danger. When they sense a nearby predator, they innately freeze in place to camouflage with the landscape.

Your hand gets too close to a flame:

Skin is difficult to ignite, and usually chars in the presence of heat. It takes up to 10 minutes of direct flame for skin to crack open and start leaking out rendered fat. Even if a horse's body started to leak fat, it would be unlikely to go up in flames on its own.

Reproduction

A woman’s body prepares for a pregnancy:

Every month, usually one egg grows within a structure called the egg follicle (a fluid filled sac that nourishes the egg). The follicle produces estrogen, which helps a woman's body prepare for pregnancy by growing a new lining for the uterus.

A woman’s body prepares for a birth:

As your body prepares for birth, your cervix — the muscular ring between your uterus and vagina — begins to soften, dislodging the mucous plug.

How do rivers become larger as they travel across land?
love history [14]

How do rivers become larger as they travel across land?

Tributaries combine, adding water to rivers.

A tributary is a stream that flows into a larger river. Small streams from around an area combine together to form a bigger tributary that eventually falls into rivers. This adds water to the main river, finally leading this river water out into an ocean.

The condition caused by a parasite living off another organism:
jonny [76]
I believe the condition is infestation. Infestation is the state of being invaded or overrun by pests or parasites. It can also refer to the actual organisms living on or within a host. For example being invaded by ectoparasites such as lice, mites, or ticks.  It may also refer to the presence of an unusually large number of insects or animals in a place, typically so as to cause damage or disease.
