Thermoclines are typically found in bodies of water such as lakes or rivers that serve as a "transition layer" between the mixed layer of the upper part of the ocean, the epipelagic zone, and the colder layer of the ocean located at the bottom, the mesopelagic zone. It is important to the organisms living in the ocean.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase's experiment was performed to test whether DNA serves as the genetic material or protein.

To perform experiment they grew bacteriophage into radiolabeled phosphorus and sulfur compounds. The phosphorus is an integral part of the structure of DNA whereas proteins contain sulfur in their structure.

In the given condition if radiolabeled nitrogen is utilized then the experiment will fail as the structure of proteins also contains an amino group( NH₂) in their structure as well as DNA. The scientist will not be able to identify whether the DNA is the genetic material or protein.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.
