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.

Please answer fast We have lots of options when it comes to trying to purposefully make mutations while doing research. Please brieflyname/describe a method you could use to make:   a) random mutations anywhere within the genome in living cells (in vivo)           b) random mutations within our cloned gene of interest in vitro           c) a very specific (non-random) mutation within our cloned gene of interest in vitro           d) NOW for the answer you gave in part C, please elaborate in detail how this method of mutagenesis is performed.
Bacterial transformation and bacteriophage labeling experiments proved that DNA was the hereditary material in bacteria and in DNA-containing viruses. Some viruses do not contain DNA but have RNA inside the phage particle. An example is the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) that infects tobacco plants, causing lesions in the leaves.   Two different variants of TMV exist that have different forms of a particular protein in the virus particle that can be distinguished. It is possible to reconstitute TMV in vitro (in the test tube) by mixing purified proteins and RNA. The reconstituted virus can then be used to infect the host plant cells and produce a new generation of viruses. Design an experiment to show that RNA, rather than protein, acts as the hereditary material in TMV.
