Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.
Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.
In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element
In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.
The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.
These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.
Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.
The Framework identifies seven crosscutting concepts that bridge disciplinary boundaries, uniting core ideas throughout the fields of science and engineering. ... A major activity of science is investigating and explaining causal relationships and the mechanisms by which they are mediated.
Answer:
B. Erosion
Explanation:
Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Erosion is the process of wind, water, and ice breaking down rocks tint smaller pieces. Erosion breaks down igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks. Erosion breaks down igneous rocks in the same manner as it breaks down other rocks
1. Oxidized
2. Reduced
3. Glucose
4. Pyruvate
5. NAD+
6. NADH
An acronym for understanding gain and loss of electrons is OIL RIG (Oxidation is Loss of electrons, Reduction is Gain of electrons).
