Answer:

They used radioactive labeling techniques to build two different types of phage.

Explanation:

In 1952, a set of experiments were carried out by American biochemists Alfred D. Hershey (1908-1997) and Martha Chase. They prepared two separate virus samples, one contained DNA labeled with a radioactive isotope and the other contained protein labeled with a different radioactive isotope. They grew the two types of viruses separately, infected bacteria with the two sets of phages and analyzed the bacteria for radioactivity. From the results obtained, Hershey and Chase concluded that the viral genetic material was DNA and not protein, reinforcing the observations previously made by Avery.

The carbon phosphorus and nitrogen cycles are collectively referred to as __________ cycles
NeTakaya

Answer is Biogeochemical cycles.

In an ecosystem biotic (living) abiotic (non-living) components constantly interact each other. During these interactions, there is a transfer of nutrients between living organisms and the non-living environment. Thus, there is recycling of inorganic matter between living organisms and their non-living environment. This cycling of matter is called biogeochemical cycles.
