For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to
umka21 [38]

Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.

In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element  

In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.

The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.

These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.  

Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.

How many body systems are in eating a single bite of turkey? PLSS HELP its duo in abt 6 mins!!​
NISA [10]

Answer:

There are 4 systems involved in this activity. these systems are: the skeletal, muscular, circulatory and digestive systems.

Explanation:

To eat a single bite of turkey it is necessary that 4 systems come into play and work together for this activity to be possible.

First, it is necessary that the turkey is brought to your mouth through the movement of its members. In that sense, the resqueletico and muscular systems will act because it is through them that the movements of the members are created.

Then you will need to bite the turkey, chew it, moisten it with saliva, swallow it and digest it. This work will be done with the digestive system that will manage all of these activities.

Finally, your body will need to absorb the elements that make up the turkey pedal that you ate and that were rescued by digestion, these elements are nutrients, proteins and others. All will be absorbed through the work of the circulatory system, which through the blood will carry the elements throughout the body.
