Biology
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It was an experiment to prove that DNA was made of genes. They discovered that protein was NOT genetic material.

Explanation:

"In their experiments, Hershey and Chase analyzed what happened when phages infect bacteria... They found that <em>when phages infect a host bacterium, the phages first attach themselves to the outside of the bacterium. Then, a piece of the phage enters the bacterium and subsequently replicates itself inside the cell. After many replications, the phage causes the bacterium to lyse, or burst, thereby killing the host bacteria.</em> Scientists classified the replicating piece as genetic material. Scientists also found that phages contained two classes of biological molecules: DNA and protein.

Hershey and Chase utilized a technique called radioactive isotope labeling. Chemical elements can exist in different structural forms called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element are nearly identical, but scientists can distinguish between them by experimental means. One way to differentiate between chemical elements with different isotopes is by analyzing their radiation. Some isotopes are less stable than others and give off radioactive signals that scientists can detect. Hershey and Chase marked phages by incorporating radioactive isotopes of phosphorus and sulfur in those phages. They allowed some phages to replicate by infecting bacteria, specifically Escherichia coli, or E. Coli, that scientists had grown in radioactive sulfur. The researchers let other phages infect and replicate in E. Coli that scientists had grown in radioactive phosphorus. DNA contains phosphorus, but not sulfur, whereas protein contains sulfur, but not phosphorus. Therefore, when Hershey and Chase marked phages with radioactive isotopes of those elements, they placed separate, distinguishable tags on the protein and DNA parts of the phages."

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

a >c > b.

Explanation:

The buoyant force may be defined as the force that mainly opposes the immersed object weight. The buoyant force is greater at the bottom and acts on upward direction.

The buoyant force depend on the object of the volume and directly proportional to the volume. The buoyant force of elephant is highest as it has highest volume than skydiver and balloon has least volume and so the least buoyant force.

Thus, the answer is a >c > b.

<h3>What are the impacts of coal mining?</h3>

The burning of coal for energy produces highly toxic effluents, such as mercury and other heavy metals such as vanadium, cadmium, arsenic and lead. In addition, the release of carbon dioxide causes pollution in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and contributing to acid rain.

With this information, we can conclude that Sedimentation and pollution of rivers due to improper disposal of unused material would make life on the family's property unfeasible.

Which of the following are among the most common second messengers?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.

Secondary messengers refers to the intracellular signaling molecules which pass the signals from the receptors located on the surface of the cell to the target molecule present within the cell.

The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:

  1. Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
  2. DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
  3. Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)  

Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
