Hershey and Chase conducted their famous experiment using bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria. They labeled the protein coat of the phage with radioactive sulfur and the DNA with radioactive phosphorus. By allowing the labeled phages to infect bacteria and then separating the viral coats from the bacterial cells, they observed that only the phosphorus-labeled DNA entered the bacteria, while the sulfur-labeled protein remained outside. This provided strong evidence that genes are made of DNA, not proteins.
What else can I help you with?
How can one differentiate between orthologs and paralogs in a given set of genes or proteins?
One can differentiate between orthologs and paralogs in a set of genes or proteins by comparing their evolutionary relationships. Orthologs are genes or proteins in different species that evolved from a common ancestor through speciation, while paralogs are genes or proteins within the same species that evolved from a gene duplication event. By analyzing the evolutionary history and sequence similarity of the genes or proteins in question, one can determine whether they are orthologs or paralogs.
Does proteins determine Genes?
No, proteins do not determine genes. Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for making proteins. Proteins are the products of gene expression, meaning that genes are responsible for determining the sequence and structure of proteins.
What did Hershey and chase work show?
Simply put, DNA is the genetic material, not protein. At that time no one was quite sure which was which. A clever experiment by Hersey and Chase settled this question. Google that experiment.
What do genes contain instructions for?
Genes contain instructions for building proteins.
What type of molecule dose genes they code for?
Genes code for proteins
How do our genes control our proteins?
Genes contain our DNA. Proteins are synthesized according to data on DNA
Do proteins code for genes in the process of genetic expression?
Yes, proteins do not code for genes in the process of genetic expression. Genes code for proteins through the process of transcription and translation.
What kind of factors are caused by genes?
Genes produce proteins and what we are is determined by genes.
What are the genes responsible for the characteristics?
Genes are transcribed to make Proteins
Can genes carry hereditary instructions?
Genes carry the instructions to make proteins, i think....
Do genes code for proteins in living organisms?
Yes, genes contain the instructions for making proteins in living organisms.
What groups consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms and can control whether genes make proteins or remain silent?
Methyl groups
