Hershey and Chase studied bacteriophages which are viruses that attack bacteria. They labeled the bacteriophage with radioactive isotopes to see where it goes when a virus attacks. They discovered that nearly all the radioactivity was found in phosphorus, confirming that DNA contains genetic material, not protein.

What is the name given to organisms that can make their own food for the biosphere?
Ray Of Light [21]
Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food for the biosphere.

This term comes from the Greek terms:
Auto- meaning "self" and Troph- meaning "feeding or growth"
So autotroph quite literally means "to feed oneself". Autotrophs, for the most part, use photosynthesis from sunlight to produce their own sugars.
Plants are the primary autotrophs on Earth!

Compare the number of pollen grains in each flower with the number of ovules. why do you think there is a difference?
ra1l [238]
<span>The role of the pollen is for the sperm to reach the egg. In the process of transportation, a lot of pollen grains can get lost and therefore there is greater need for it to be more than the ovules, since the eggs do not have to be transported anywhere. </span>
