As a scientist, you seek to prove that DNA is the hereditary macromolecule by replicating the Hershey-Chase experiment. You cult

ure the lambda phage in heavy and light Cl (Cl-36 is heavy and radioactive - the most abundant is Cl-35, lighter and non-radioactive). You purify the phage from their growth media and infect the E. coli, where will you detect radioactivity?
Select one:
a. Within the E. coli pellet as the DNA has entered the bacterial cells.
b. On the E. coli cell surface (or phage fraction), as part of the phage protein coat.
c. In the supernatent (free liquid) of your test tube
d. Both A and B
e. None of the above
Why is the answer none of the above? Why cant the radioactivity be detected?

Answer:

The correct answer is option e. "None of the above".

Explanation:

The Hershey-Chase experiment helped to prove that DNA was the genetic material, by specifically labeling the DNA material of a bacteriophage with phosphorus-32. In this experiment the lambda phage is labeled with heavy and light Cl. CI-36, the one that is heavy and radioactive, corresponds to Chlorine-36. Chlorine is not an element found in DNA such as phosphorus, therefore lambda DNA will not be labeled and no radioactivity will be detected.

a) they are made of many cells

b) they are made of one or more cells

c) they come from the same kind of cell

d) they come from noncellular structures

Answer:

The correct answer is - option b. they are made of one or more cells

Explanation:

The cell theory has three major parts that are; the cell is the basic and physiological unit of the organism, all living organisms are made up of one or more cells, new cells come from the pre-existing cells.

On the basis of the cell theory, we can say that all organisms including the cheetah that is a multicellular organism or paramecium a single-celled organism, are made up of one or more cells.
