Answer:
<u>D) the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA)</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Phages, or bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.They have varying shapes, and sizes, and may contain one of two kinds of nucleic acid; these are RNA and DNA.
The nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. These are genetic storage biomolecules made up of the monomers ribonucleic acid (RNA) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Answer:
C. 217
Explanation:
Mendel obtained the phenotypic ratio of 3 dominant: 1 recessive in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross. According to the given information, inflated pods are dominant over the constricted one.
Let's assume that the allele C is responsible for inflated pods while the recessive allele "c" gives constricted pods. A cross between two pure breeding plants with inflated (CC) and constricted pods (cc) would give all the plants with inflated pods (Cc) in the F1 generation. A cross between two F1 plants would obtain F2 generation in following ratio=3 Inflated: 1 constricted.
Therefore, if 650 plants with inflated pods were obtained in the F2 generation, 217 plants must have constricted pods since 650:217 is almost equal to 3:1.
