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.

Which statement best describes the role of gene expression in cells?
maw [93]
The answer is <span>To become specialized, cells need to control the production of proteins coded for in their DNA.

All genetic information in a cell's DNA is not fully expressed at all times. On the contrary, in different cell lines, different DNA segments are expressed at different times. Some genes are active in unspecialized cells and later deactivate, some are activated only in specialized cells, for example. These are facultative genes which are active when needed, unlike constitutive genes which are expressed continually. Therefore, <u>t</u></span><span><u>o become specialized, cells need to control the production of proteins coded for in their DNA. </u>DNA segments, however, remain in cell and are not destroyed. Also, during the mitosis, all genes are passed, not only required genes.</span>
