Please refer to the image. In this experiment, the___________________ is labeled 35S and the ________________32P. Only _______________was found within the infected bacterium, which proves that ____________ is the genetic material. Why? __________________________ Who performed these experiments?

Please refer to the image In this experiment the is labeled 35S and the 32P Only was found within the infected bacterium which proves that is the genetic materi class=


Answer :

As we can see in the image the bacteriophage is labeled in two main parts the protein capsule and the genetic material, the protein coat is labeled as 35S meanwhile the genetic material is labeled as 32P. The order is as follows:

In this experiment, the protein coat is labeled 35S and the DNA 32P. Only DNA, 32P was found within the infected bacterium, which proves that 32P is the genetic material.

This happens because if we examine the bacteria that has been infected we will see the marker 32P, meanwhile the marker 35P we will find it in the solution obtained by agitation.
