Please answer all the parts of the question a, b and c
In the Hershey–Chase experiment, the radioactive label 32P was present inside bacterial cells (i.e., in the pellet), whereas the radioactive label 35S waspresent outside bacterial cells (in the supernatant). What would the researchers have concluded had the reverse been true, that is, if the radioactive label 35S were inside the cells and the radioactive label 32P were outside the cells?
Question 2
The discovery of the DNA structure started the modern era of biotechnology.

- At the end of an experiment, you extract DNA from ten yeast colonies. You divide the DNA from each colony into two tubes, and send all twenty samples for sequencing. How many experimental replicates do you have?arrow_forwardYou mutagenized bacteria and isolated two mutants that you suspected to be defective in DNA synthesis. You measured incorporation of radioactivity (Y- axis) for various times (X-axis) at two temperatures (30 deg C shown as open circles and 40 deg C shown a filled circles in both figures) for the two mutants of bacteria (left and right figures). For this experiment, you can conclude that 20,000 1,000 30° 0- 40° 15,000- 10,000- 500 5,000- 0 40 40 80 120 120 0 Time (min) None of these conclusions O You have isolated a component of RNA synthesis that is temperature insensitive You have isolated mutants that are temperature insensitive You have isolated temperature-sensitive mutants that are defective in DNA synthesis O You have isolated a component of protein synthesis ³H-thymidine incorporated (cpm) O 80arrow_forwardThe Bacteria Escherichia coli DNA genome has a molecular mass of about 3.1 X 10° D.

- You have 2 solutions of DNA. Solution 1 contains single stranded viral DNA while Solution 2 has double stranded form of the same viral DNA. Both solutions contain 1 mg/ml of DNA. You then expose each of these solutions to UV light at 260 nm. Which of the following results would you expect to see after UV light exposure? a.Neither solution will absorb any UV light but the DNA in both solutions will be broken by the action of the UV light. b.Solution 1 will absorb less light than Solution 2 c.Solution 1 will absorb more light than solution 2. d.Nothing will occur. DNA can only absorb UV light if it is interchelated with ethidium bromide. e.Both solutions will absorb the same amount of light since their concentrations are the same.arrow_forwardQUESTION 4: Why does a PCR reaction require a primer? Would you expect this primer to be composed of DNA or RNA? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardThe table below summarises the three stages of Meselson and Stahl's experiment and their results.

Why or why not?arrow_forward
- If you tiled a floor with the planar rings from the bases of all the DNA molecules of living creatures on Earth, approximately how many times could you cover the Earth’s surface? This is meant to be an estimation/Fermi problem so it does not have to be exact.arrow_forwardIf the DNA of one human cell is stretched out, it would be almost 6 feet long and contain over three billion base pairs. How does all this fit into the nucleus of one cell?arrow_forwardYou are trying to determine the base content for a number of samples in the lab (mouse DNA, bacterial DNA, single-stranded DNA virus and double-stranded RNA virus). Unfortunately, you failed to use an alcohol-proof marker and during the ethanol precipitation of your samples the labels came off the tubes. You finish the experiment anyway and try to use the data to determine the samples. Can you determine the source of each sample based on your results? Briefly explain how you come to your designations. Sample % adenine % cytosine % guanine % thymine % uracil A 18 32 32 18 0 B 26 18 32 24 0 C 31 19 19 0 31 D 10 40 40 10 0arrow_forward
