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.

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.

Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.

In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.

Which is the most likely outcome for a species of fish that lacks the genetic variation necessary to adapt to a changing ocean e
ZanzabumX [31]
Genetic variation is the variation in the DNA sequence in the genome of an organisms. Organisms of a species have similar characteristics but they are not identical due to genetic variation. Genetic variation is important in the survival and the adaptability of a given species of organism. Therefore, in this case lack of genetic variation necessary to adapt to change in the environment will lead to extinction of the fish species that lacks the variation.
