- In the experiment by Bernard Davis, bacterial F+cells and F- cells were growing while separated by a filter. Filter pores allowed the passage of the liquid medium but not the bacteria cells. As a result: 1) prototype colonies grew well on minimal medium 2) F+ cells were converted to F- cells despite the physical separation 3)F- cells were converted F+ cells despite the physical separation 4)F+ cells were not converted to F- cells because of the physical separation 5) F- cells were not converted to F+ cells because of the physical separation 6)there was no growth of prototypes on minimal mediumarrow_forwardWhy do we use an Electron Scanning Microscope to see bacteriophages over other microscopes?arrow_forwardIn the Hershey Chase experiment, why was the localization of radio-labeled phage of macromolecules in the cytoplasm the reason that the genetic material identity was proved.arrow_forward
