Answer:
The bacterial pellet would have contained both isotopes, making it unclear which substance was the genetic material.
Explanation:
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, those of the even T series (T2, T4 and T6). Hershey and Chase work with viruses that attack the enterobacteria Escherichia coli. Bacteriophages consisting of DNA viruses with a protein coat (capsid)
The infection process is that the virus injects its DNA into the bacteria. This viral DNA is inserted into the bacteria's DNA, which begins to make new copies (offspring) of the virus. After 25 minutes of injecting the DNA, the bacteria (host cell) explode, releasing hundreds of new bacteriophages. Since phages have only DNA and proteins, they were the appropriate tool to reveal the chemical nature of the hereditary material.
In 1952, Hershey and Chase designed an experience to find out if the inheritance was communicated by DNA or by proteins. They used radioactive labeling techniques to build two different types of phage populations (both T2). A population of phages grew in a medium containing the radioactive isotope S35. The S35 marks the proteins that contain the amino acids cysteine or methionine and therefore this population contains radioactive proteins and not radioactive DNA, since the DNA does not contain sulfur. The second population of virus grew in a medium containing P32. P32 marks nucleic acids, but not proteins, so that this population contains radioactive DNA and non-radioactive proteins. Both types of viruses were used separately to infect susceptible E. coli cells.
Through my research I found questions similar to this with answer choices:
A) medicinal material excreted by macrophages
B) the death of macrophages
C) pathogens trying to infect the area
D) blood cells losing their hemoglobin
The best answer among the following choices would be the second option aka B) The death of Macrophages because cutting your knee is cutting your skin since something sharp went through the layers it basically killed things in order to get to you, to make you feel the pain, so as a result of the cut, it killed the macrophages, which are like your security system for your immune system that protects you, but the cut broke through and harmed the skin.
The correct answer is A.
Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
A cell wall is the rigid, outermost covering of plant cells and is made up of cellulose. It is absent in animal cells. The cell wall is visible under a light microscope.
Animal cells are instead covered by a cell membrane. It is made up of lipids, proteins, and small amounts carbohydrates. It is a thin and delicate structure that can only be seen using an electron microscope.
