Answer:
There are prion-like particles in the brain normally, and when these become abnormal they can cause disease. (Ans. A)
Explanation:
Prions are proteins which can trigger normal proteins to fold abnormally, and they are present in the brain. They are causing many types of neurodegenerative diseases in both humans and animals. Which are known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
Prions can enter the brain with the help of infection, also can arise from the gene mutation that encodes the proteins, and sometimes this affects humans by infected meat.
If a person infected from prion disease, it affects central nervous system tissues like brain, eye tissues and spinal cord.
The answer is D. Increasing government funding of research
Hi,
Harshey and Chase did a great experimentation which was basically a two step experiment to prove that DNA and not proteins are the actual carriers of genetic information from parents to offspring.
- In the first part of their experiment, they used bacteriophages (virus that eat bacteria). They used radioactively labeled sulphur(35S) medium to grow bacteriophages and observed that all the bacteriophages had proteins with radioactive sulphur(35S).
- In the next step they allowed these phages to infect bacteria and to their surprise, they found that the bacteria did not had radioactively labeled sulphur in them because the coat of bacteriophage stays outside the body of bacteria when it attacks it. This proved that DNA not proteins were the hereditary material.
- To make their results more reliable, they did a second experimentation in which, they marked the DNA of the phage with radioactive phosphorus 32P. After labeling DNA, they repeated the same experiment and this time, they found radioactive phosphorus inside the bacteria.
<em>This meant that the bacteria had DNA of phage entered inside them and this again proved that DNA not proteins are the hereditary material. You can see attached image for better understanding.

Hope it help!
Answer:
This statement is False.
Explanation:
A shared apo-morphy which differentiate a clade from other organisms is called synapomorphy. In simple words, members of monophyletic group shares an apomorphy which indicate the presence or absence of certain organs from clade.
For example, loss of legs in snakes is an important synapomorphy.
