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.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone.

Explanation:

Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal. About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone.

Penicillin is Choose one: A. produced by a mold and was discovered accidentally. B. a human-designed antibiotic, synthesized to
NeX [460]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that is derived from the fungal species of Penicillium molds especially the<em> Penicillium notatum</em>.  The penicillin acts by disrupting the formation of the cell wall and thus prevents the growth of the bacteria.

The discovery of penicillin was accidental when he was studying the petridish of staphylococcus and he found that due to avoidance while the experiment, molds grew in the petridish.  The area around the mold was clear and clear rings without the bacteria were easily observed. This lead to the discovery of the penicillin compound.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Where is the cell membrane located in a cell with no cell wall
Oduvanchick [21]
I'm pretty sure that the cell membrane acts as the cell wall if you understand what I'm saying. The cell membrane will be the outermost structure.
