In 1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase used radioactive phosphorus and radioactive sulfur to selectively label the DNA and prot

eins of bacteriophage T2, a virus that infects bacteria. After incubating the labeled bacteriophage particles with Escherichia coli and separating extracellular phage particles from the bacteria, Hershey and Chase measured the amounts of radioactive phosphorus and sulfur inside infected E. coli cells and in the liquid growth medium outside the E. coli colls Which of the following best explains their results and conclusion?
a. Both radioactive DNA and radioactive protein were found in the infected cells; this demonstrates that DNA is the genetic material and its code was used to synthesize proteins.
b. Radioactive DNA was found in the infected cells and radioactive protein was found in the medium outside the cells; this demonstrates OB that the genetic information was used to synthesize proteins.
c. Radioactive protein was found in the intected cells and radioactive DNA was found in the medium outside the cells; this demonstrates that DNA carries the virus' genetic information.
d. Radioactive DNA was found in the infected cells and radioactive protein was found in the medium outside the cells; this demonstrates that DNA carries the virus' genetic information.

Answer:

The correct answer for the given question is (D) radioactive DNA is found inside the infected cell and radioactive protein was found in the medium outside the cell. This demonstrates that DNA carries virus genetic information.

Explanation:

Harshey and chase conducted an experiment on bacteriophage in 1951 the bacteriophages that are used are responsible for infecting bacteria. they found that genes are not made up of protein but DNA.

This is an experiment that used the method known as isotope labeling. They tag DNA with Phosphorus and protein with sulfur as the coat of bacteriophages are also made up of protein. They found out the DNA of bacteriophages is inserted into bacteria while the protein coat remains outside in the medium. It means that only DNA is what transfer not the protein.

Which of the following statements is true?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Spongy bone is well adapted to accept stress in many directions, which makes it good for shock absorption

Explanation:

Spongy bone tissue is less compact and always present towards the interior of the bone and is covered by compact bone. Spongy bone tissue has lamellae that are arranged in an irregular pattern. The thin irregular columns of lamellae are called trabeculae.

The trabeculae of spongy bone tissues are precisely arranged along the line of stress. This feature of spongy bones allows them to resist the stress applied from many directions and to transfer the force making them a good shock absorber. The final arrangement of trabeculae is achieved only after the person learns the locomotory movements completely.

If granite is subjected to high temperatures and high pressures deep within Earth, but does not melt, what type of rock will be
kodGreya [7K]
The type of rock that will be formed is METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Metamorphic rocks are pre-existing rocks that are formed as a result of physical or chemical alteration by mean of heat and pressure. The process transform the rock into a denser, more compact rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, gneiss and schist. Metamorphic rocks can be formed from already existing igneous or sedimentary rock. <span />
