The statement that would best explain why one red blood cell hemolyzes more quickly than another is if the cell that hemolyzes more quickly acquires NaCl at a faster rate.

Water moves by osmosis in and out of cells from the region of high water potential or low solute concentration to the region of low water potential or high solute concentration.

A cell with a higher solute concentration than the surrounding solution will keep acquiring water from its surrounding until the cell becomes turgid and bursts or lyses due to over-turgidity.

If the reverse occurs, such a cell will lose water and become flaccid.

Thus, if a red blood cell acquires NaCl, a solute, at a faster rate, such a cell will also acquire water and become turgid/lyses at a faster rate.

Depending on the type of reproduction, offspring can be genetically identical, a clone of their parent, or genetically distinct.
Vlad [161]

• Offspring are genetically identical to parent-asexual reproduction

Fungi reproduce asexually on different ways such as fragmentation, budding, or producing spores(asexual spores, which are produced by one parentand thus, genetically identical to that parent).

• Offspring genetically distinct-sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction introduces genetic In fungi, there are two ways(two mating types):both mating types are present in the same mycelium (homothallic) or mycelia require two different mycelia (heterothallic).

meriva

Scientists collect information that allows them to make evolutionary connections between organisms. Similar to detective work, scientists must use evidence to uncover the facts. In the case of phylogeny, evolutionary investigations focus on two types of evidence: morphologic (form and function) and genetic.

Answer:

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect only bacteria and do not infect mammalian or plant cells. Phages are ubiquitous in the environment. Phages or bacteriophages were chosen as a model system for their simplicity, as they only contained protein-coated nucleic acid. Alfred D. Hershey and Martha Chase (who were part of the bacteriophage group) in 1952 studying the infection of the bacterium Escherichia coli by the T2 phage show that the information definitely resides in the DNA. They used phage with either [32P] -labeled DNA or [35S] -labeled proteins to infect the bacteria. Immediately afterwards, they centrifuged the sample so that the infected bacteria remain in the pellet and the virus capsids (proteins) remain in the supernatant. [35S] is found in the supernatant, whereas [32P] is found in bacteria. After one cycle of infection, it was observed that when phage labeled in the [35S] proteins were used, only 1% of the radioactivity was incorporated into the progeny. But when phages were [32P] labeled, more than 30% of the radioactivity was in the progeny. They showed directly that what is transmitted from one progeny to another is the DNA and not the proteins, despite having first "diluted" in a bacterium.

Explanation:

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria in a specific way. Bacteriophages, like other known viruses, are found in an intermediate zone between living organisms and inert matter. Bacteriophages bind to the host pathogenic bacterium, introduce their genetic material, replicate inside it and destroy it. Hersey, along with his assistant Martha Chase, used phages because they knew that T2 phages were made up of 50% proteins and 50% nucleic acids and that phages entered bacteria and reproduced. As the progeny carried the same infection traits, the genetic material of this had to be transmitted to the offspring, but the mechanism was unknown. These scientists carried out an experimental work with the T2 virus, a bacteriophage that infects the bacterium Escherichia coli, which it reproduces by attaching itself to the outer wall of the bacterium, injecting its DNA into it where it replicates and directs the synthesis of the phage's own proteins. Phage DNA is encapsulated within proteins and produces phages, which lyse or disrupt the cell and release phage from progeny. They infected a culture of bacteria with radioactively labeled phages: the protein coat with sulfur (35S) and its DNA with phosphorus (32P). After infection, they separated the phages from the bacteria by violent shaking using a mixer (hence the name of the experiment). By centrifugation the much smaller phages remained in the supernatant and the much larger bacteria in the pellet. 85% of the radioactivity corresponding to DNA appeared in the pellet and 82% of the protein in the supernatant. This result supported the idea that DNA was the only component of the bacteriophage that penetrated the interior of the bacteria and, having the ability to form new phages, constituted the genetic material.
