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 microbes present in the experiment were:
S. cerevisiae
S. epidermis
A way of categorizing microbes is according to the environment that they need to live in. In other words, we can classify them as isotonic, halotolerant and halophile.
If we put these two microbes in solutions of increasing concentrations, 1%, 7% and 15%, we will see that:
- S. cerevisiae only grows when it is in a 1% solution.
- S. epidermis only grows when it is in a 1% and 7% solution.
In conclusion, S.cerevisiae prefers an isotonic environment. S. epidermis is halotolerant since it can grow in a more hypertonic environment. As none of them grows in a highly hypertonic solution, neither of them are halophile.

Answer:
decreases competition between members of the two different butterfly populations.
Explanation:
The choice of different habitats may be beneficial for the populations of butterflies since it enables to both groups to survive and reproduce without the need to compete for limited resources (in this case, the host plants)
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
Biodiversity usually refers to the different varieties of life forms that exist on earth. This includes the varieties in terms of ecosystem, and species and genetic changes.
This biodiversity is directly dependent on the region where there occurs a high amount of sunlight and precipitation. The factors such as latitude, climate, height, availability of resources are important for the growth and expansion of biodiversity. In these regions, the biogeochemical cycle also occurs rapidly, as the processes that are associated with it occur at a faster rate, thereby enhancing biodiversity.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Initiation , elongation, termination
