because it is a simple phage, DNA surrounded by a protein coat

What is the bacteriophage used by hershy and chase consisted of two types of molecules?
protein and DNA
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.
What determine the formation of a protein?
your poopie
Why does the structure of a protein or enzyme determine its function?
Yes.
Which two levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme?
Quaternary and Tertiary levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme.
What is the protein coating of Bacteriophage T2?
OmpF (outer membrane protein)
What is the bacteriophage used by hershy and chase consisted of two types of molecules?
protein and DNA
What makes up bacteriophage?
DNA and RNA core and a protein coat.
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
What did Hershey and Chase's work establish?
Hershey and Chase completed research proving that DNA is the "stuff of heredity" and not just protein in 1952. There is information on how they used a bacteriophage to prove this residing on the Answers site.
The bacteriophage used by Hershey and chase consisted of 2 types of molecules?
DNA and protein
What result did Hershey and chase observe?
they concluded that the genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA, not protein
A bacteriophage typically attaches to the bacterium and then?
It's genetic material and some enzymes sometimes which hijack the bacteria into making more viruses.
How does DNA sequence determine protein function?
DNA sequences do not determine the function of any protein. DNA sequences determine the structure of the protein. That is particular amino acid sequence in protein only.
Is meat used for protein?
Yes, meat is an excellent source of protein.
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.
What is the purpose of protein catabolism?
to determine if bacteria can digest the protein gelatin
