How did Hershey and chase show that DNA was the molecule that carried the genetic code?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hershey (you know, Alfred Hershy) and Chase (you know again, Martha Chase) did some experiments with Bacteriophages (you know, viruses that affect Bacteria).

What they did in the experiment was that, they grew some of these Bacteriophages on a medium which contained radioactive Sulphus(S)(remember, radioactivity can be detected easily).

Then, they also took some other Bacteriophages. But, they were grown on radioactive Phosphorur(P).....

(Don't 4get(that's forget)), DNA also has Phosphorus in it (DNA = Nitrogen bases + Pentose sugar + Phosphorus).

Now, back to the experiment ------ The Bacteriophages that were grown on radioactive Phosphorus contained radioactive DNA. But they didn't have any radioactive protein coat. (remember viruses have a protein coat covering their DNA?)

Then, bacteriophages (please call them B from now, but not in the exams), which were grown in S (radioactive sulphur, remember?), had a radioactive protein coat (protien coats are made up of sulphur and some other elements), but no radioactive DNA........

That was the first part.......................

Now, the next one..........................

Radioactive B's, from both P and S were allowed to attach to E.coli (Esterichia coli) bacteria as an attack (or infection). After infection, The protein coats were removed by agitating (stirring real fast) in a blender (they're still not removed). Then, these virus particles (protein coats) wer removed by centrifugation (using centrifugal machine).

Then, the third big step....................................…

The observation part....................................…

It was observed that, some bacteria were radioactive and many were not. Also, it was observed that, bacteria which were attacked by B (Bacteriophage) having radioactive DNA were the ones which were radioactive..... Also that, bacteria which were attacked by B having S weren't radioactive......

So, it lead to the point that proteins didn't pass into bacteria, but it was the DNA that did......

So, DNA was concluded to be the genetic material......

Viruses were chosen because they only had genetic meterial & coat

Asked by Guiltyverdict

Typically, the basic general courses particular to engineering - setting aside courses related to a specialty - would include: * English composition * General Chemistry I and II * Physics (Mechanics, electricity and magnetism) * Engineering and computer graphics * Fundamentals of engineering * Computer algorithms * Calculus I, II, III and differential equations * Macro and/or micro economics * Technical electives * Humanities and social science electives. The above typically fills out the general cluster leading to advanced coursework particular to a specialty. The below relates to more detailed general information related to engineering that you should carefully read over, and follow through with the link I have provided below this answer box. The following is from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Engineers typically enter the occupation with a bachelor's degree in an engineering specialty, but some basic research positions may require a graduate degree. Engineers offering their services directly to the public must be licensed. Continuing education to keep current with rapidly changing technology is important for engineers. Education and training. A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for almost all entry-level engineering jobs. College graduates with a degree in a natural science or mathematics occasionally may qualify for some engineering jobs, especially in specialties in high demand. Most engineering degrees are granted in electrical, electronics, mechanical, or civil engineering. However, engineers trained in one branch may work in related branches. For example, many aerospace engineers have training in mechanical engineering. This flexibility allows employers to meet staffing needs in new technologies and specialties in which engineers may be in short supply. It also allows engineers to shift to fields with better employment prospects or to those that more closely match their interests. Most engineering programs involve a concentration of study in an engineering specialty, along with courses in both mathematics and the physical and life sciences. Many programs also include courses in general engineering. A design course, sometimes accompanied by a computer or laboratory class or both, is part of the curriculum of most programs. General courses not directly related to engineering, such as those in the social sciences or humanities, are also often required. In addition to the standard engineering degree, many colleges offer 2-year or 4-year degree programs in engineering technology. These programs, which usually include various hands-on laboratory classes that focus on current issues in the application of engineering principles, prepare students for practical design and production work, rather than for jobs that require more theoretical and scientific knowledge. Graduates of 4-year technology programs may get jobs similar to those obtained by graduates with a bachelor's degree in engineering. Engineering technology graduates, however, are not qualified to register as professional engineers under the same terms as graduates with degrees in engineering. Some employers regard technology program graduates as having skills between those of a technician and an engineer. Graduate training is essential for engineering faculty positions and many research and development programs, but is not required for the majority of entry-level engineering jobs. Many experienced engineers obtain graduate degrees in engineering or business administration to learn new technology and broaden their education. Many high-level executives in government and industry began their careers as engineers. About 1,830 programs at colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees in engineering that are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), Inc., and there are another 710 accredited programs in engineering technology. ABET accreditation is based on a program's faculty, curriculum, and facilities; the achievement of a program's students; program improvements; and institutional commitment to specific principles of quality and ethics. Although most institutions offer programs in the major branches of engineering, only a few offer programs in the smaller specialties. Also, programs of the same title may vary in content. For example, some programs emphasize industrial practices, preparing students for a job in industry, whereas others are more theoretical and are designed to prepare students for graduate work. Therefore, students should investigate curriculums and check accreditations carefully before selecting a college. Admissions requirements for undergraduate engineering schools include a solid background in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus) and science (biology, chemistry, and physics), with courses in English, social studies, and humanities. Bachelor's degree programs in engineering typically are designed to last 4 years, but many students find that it takes between 4 and 5 years to complete their studies. In a typical 4-year college curriculum, the first 2 years are spent studying mathematics, basic sciences, introductory engineering, humanities, and social sciences. In the last 2 years, most courses are in engineering, usually with a concentration in one specialty. Some programs offer a general engineering curriculum; students then specialize on the job or in graduate school. Some engineering schools have agreements with 2-year colleges whereby the college provides the initial engineering education, and the engineering school automatically admits students for their last 2 years. In addition, a few engineering schools have arrangements that allow students who spend 3 years in a liberal arts college studying pre-engineering subjects and 2 years in an engineering school studying core subjects to receive a bachelor's degree from each school. Some colleges and universities offer 5-year master's degree programs. Some 5-year or even 6-year cooperative plans combine classroom study and practical work, permitting students to gain valuable experience and to finance part of their education. Licensure. All 50 States and the District of Columbia require licensure for engineers who offer their services directly to the public. Engineers who are licensed are called professional engineers (PE). This licensure generally requires a degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program, 4 years of relevant work experience, and successful completion of a State examination. Recent graduates can start the licensing process by taking the examination in two stages. The initial Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination can be taken upon graduation. Engineers who pass this examination commonly are called engineers in training (EIT) or engineer interns (EI). After acquiring suitable work experience, EITs can take the second examination, the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Several States have imposed mandatory continuing education requirements for relicensure. Most States recognize licensure from other States, provided that the manner in which the initial license was obtained meets or exceeds their own licensure requirements. Many civil, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers are licensed PEs. Independent of licensure, various certification programs are offered by professional organizations to demonstrate competency in specific fields of engineering. Other qualifications.Engineers should be creative, inquisitive, analytical, and detail oriented. They should be able to work as part of a team and to communicate well, both orally and in writing. Communication abilities are becoming increasingly important as engineers frequently interact with specialists in a wide range of fields outside engineering. Certification and advancement.Beginning engineering graduates usually work under the supervision of experienced engineers and, in large companies, also may receive formal classroom or seminar-type training. As new engineers gain knowledge and experience, they are assigned more difficult projects with greater independence to develop designs, solve problems, and make decisions. Engineers may advance to become technical specialists or to supervise a staff or team of engineers and technicians. Some may eventually become engineering managers or enter other managerial or sales jobs. In sales, an engineering background enables them to discuss a product's technical aspects and assist in product planning, installation, and use. (See the statements under management and business and financial operations occupations, and the statement on sales engineers elsewhere in the Handbook.) Numerous professional certifications for engineers exist and may be beneficial for advancement to senior technical or managerial positions. Many certification programs are offered by the professional societies listed as sources of additional information for engineering specialties at the end of this statement.

How can genetic diseases miss a generation?

User Avatar

Asked by Supersable

Where the gene(s) is/are recessive, a person might also end up with a dominant gene that masks it while then passing it on to any of their own children, who may then be unlucky enough to receive both alleles of the recessive disease gene(s). This makes it possible for the disease to skip mutliple generations and then reappear suddenly for a long time, or to simply miss every second or third.

What is the similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a theory. This theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once a free living bacterias(prokaryote) long time ago. People thought this because mitochondria and chloroplasts are not like other organelles of the cell. They divide independently during cell division, they both have their own DNA, and even those DNAs (known as mtDNA) replicates.
