Hershey and chase concluded that the genetic material of the bacteriophage was?
dna(:
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
Landing on a bacterium and inserting the viruses genetic material into the bacterium.
A patient has a rare genetic disease What might doctors use to treat her?
Doctors may use a bacteriophage.
Is a T4 bacteriophage virus living or non living?
Bacteriophage viruses are nonliving. They are DNA or RNA encapsulated in a protein coated capsule with recognition sites to bind to specific target sites on bacteria and insert their genetic material for viral replication or to induce changes in the bacterial genetic material.
Why does lysogenic bacteriophage contribute to bacterial virulence?
The genetic material of the phage can be passed on to future generations of cells.
Why is DNA significant?
Because we have it inside us and carries our genetic code
What is a prophage-?
Genetic material of a bacteriophage , joined into the genome of a bacterium and able to produce phages if activated
The way that genetic material of a bacteriophage enters a bacterium is most like the way that?
a drug is injected with a hypodermic needle. virus = bacteriophage
Hershey and chase concluded that the genetic material of the bacteriophage was?
dna(:
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
Landing on a bacterium and inserting the viruses genetic material into the bacterium.
What result did Hershey and chase observe?
they concluded that the genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA, not protein
What has the author Mark Ptashne written?
Mark Ptashne has written: 'A genetic switch' -- subject(s): Bacteriophage lambda, Genetic Repressors, Genetic regulation, Viral genetics
A patient has a rare genetic disease What might doctors use to treat her?
Doctors may use a bacteriophage.

Where is the Genetic code is caried?
DNA carries the genetic code.
Describe the contributions of hershey and chase to the understanding that DNA is the genetic material?
Hershey and Chase radioactively labelled T2 bacteriophage with P (DNA) and S (protein) to determine if protein or DNA carried the genetic material. They let the bacteriophage infect E.coli. The radioactive material found in the host E.coli contained the radioactive P (found in DNA) as the bacteriophage had multiplied inside the cell, but the radioactive S was not found inside the cell. Therefore DNA is the hereditary molecule resorce - some other guy off the internet
