Chapter 8, Problem 5DAA
Hershey–Chase Experiments The graph shown in FIGURE 8.5 is reproduced from an original 1952 publication by Hershey and Chase. Bacteriophage were labeled with radioactive tracers and allowed 10 infect bacteria. The virus–bacteria mixtures were then whirled in a blender to dislodge any viral components attached to the exterior of the bacteria. Afterward, radioactivity from the tracers was measured.
FIGURE 8.5 Detail of Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase’s 1952 publication describing their experiments with bacteriophage.
“Infected bacteria” refers to the percentage of bacteria that survived the blender.
Do these results imply that viruses inject DNA or protein into bacteria? Why or why not?

- Give detailed explanation Solution (don't give Handwritten answerarrow_forwardWhat observation led Hershey and Chase to the conclusion that DNA, not the protein coat, carried the genetic information needed to make new virus or phage particles? Select one: a. The cell membrane of the bacteria infected with a virus tagged with radioactive phosphorus exhibited radioactivity after it’s initial cell division. b. Bacterial cells infected with viruses tagged with radioactive phosphorus were radioactive, indicating viral DNA entered the host cell. c. The cell was vigorously shaken, causing the protein coats to detach from the cell membrane of the bacteria. The protein coats contain genetic information. d. Bacterial cells infected with viruses tagged with radioactive sulfur were radioactive, indicating viral protein entered the host cell.arrow_forwardThe following image is of an agarose gel.

- How do you answer these two questions?arrow_forwardTRY TO KEEP IN SHORT AND USE OWN WORD FOR THIS QUESTION You are studying a type of bacteria isolated from the acidic water runoff of a mining operation. You subject two batches of the same bacteria type to different environmental growth conditions. One batch is grown at pH 2, while the other is grown at pH 7. All other environmental parameters are kept identical between the two batches. You then collect their proteins and run a Western blot using an antibody that binds to a proton efflux pump protein (which actively expends energy to pump protons out of a cell). How would you characterize the information obtained in this experiment? What does it tell you, and why is that potentially valuable information?arrow_forwarddid i identify sample a correctly? or is it actually none?arrow_forward
- Transcribed Image Text:Complete the following tasks. You discovered that a species of bacteria can break down StyrofoamT (polystyrene) products due to an enzyme it produces, polystyrenase. You wish to study the gene that codes for this enzyme. Task 1: DNA Extraction To begin work on the bacterium, you begin by extracting its genomic DNA (GDNA). What is the purpose of the following procedures? Answer briefly but completely. Using sodium dodecyl sulfate, a detergent Answer: а. b. Adding RNase A and Proteinase K during extraction Answer: c. Adding ethanol before recovering the DNA extract С. Answer: Task 2: Polymerase Chain Reaction After purifying the gDNA extract, you want to isolate and amplify the polystyrenase gene. You perform PCR using the appropriate gene-targeted primers. What is the purpose of the following PCR components? Answer briefly but completely.

- Clinical application: A 44-year-old man with HIV is receiving antibiotics through a intravenous catheter. The antibiotics are to help treat a kidney infection. The patient develops a fever. Subsequent cultures from the patient's blood, the needle tip, and from the insertion site all show growth of an organism with large oval-shaped cells. The cells reproduce by budding.
