The Hershey Chase experiment using radioactively labeled bacteriophage to infect bacteria proved that DNA was the genetic material. If you were reviewing those experimental results, which of the following would provide evidence that DNA was the genetic material? Select all that would apply. a) The DNA was localized in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell, which is the same site that the bacterial chromosome is located. b) Radioactively labeled viral proteins were only found outside the cell and the viral...
Which among A-D is false regarding most DNA virus infections and most non-retroviral RNA virus infections? A. Once inside the host cell, RNA virus replication usually (though not always) occurs completely in the cytoplasm. B. The genome of DNA viruses generally must enter the nucleus of the host cell they infect. C. A (+) sense RNA strand produced by an RNA virus could serve as an mRNA and be directly translated into protein. D. DNA viruses typically are assembled in...

35) Refer to the treatments listed to answer the question. You isolate an infectious substance capable of causing discase in plants, but you do not know whether the infectious agent is a bacterium, virus, or prion. You have four methods at your disposa to analyze the substance and determine the nature of the infectious agent. I. Treat the substance with enzymes that destroy all nucleic acids, and then determine whether the substance is still infectious. II. Filter the substance to...
