Question
Chapter 17.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The experiment of Hershey and Chase and to describe why they used phage.
Introduction:
Bacteriophages are the viruses that infect bacteria. They were discovered by Twort and Herelle in 1915. They are also called bacteria eater. They are made up of proteins that cover their genetic material. They grow and increase their number inside a bacterium. They show both the lytic and the lysogenic cycles.

Predict the effects (on translation of coat gene and replicase gene) of the following mutations on phage R17 coat gene and replicase gene translation and explain the logic of your answers: a. An amber mutation (premature stop codon) six codons downstream of the coat gene initiation codon. b. Mutations in the stem loop around the coat gene initiation codon that weakens the base-pairing in the stem loop. c. Mutations in the interior of the replicase gene that cause it to base-pair with the coat gene initiation codon.arrow_forward
