To review:
The differences between results of Hershey and Chase’s original experiment and in new experiment in which 35S (radioactive isotope of sulfur) labeled both protein and DNA, whereas 32P (radioactive isotope of phosphorous) labeled only DNA.
Introduction:
Living beings transfer characters from one generation to another and the molecule responsible for transferring these characters is called genetic material. In the first half of the 20th century, scientists wondered which molecule of cell contains the genetic material; different scientists performed different experiments to find it. Hershey and Chase’s experiment gave evidence that DNA is the genetic material, after the experiments of Griffith (a substance transformed the bacteria pneumonia genetically), and the experiments of Avery and his coworkers (DNA is the genetic material that transformed nonvirulent bacteria to virulent bacteria).

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
