Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.1PS
Prior Knowledge. Virtually every experiment performed by biologists builds on knowledge provided by earlier experiments.
- (a) Of what significance to Avery and his colleagues was the finding (made in 1932 by J. L. Alloway) that the same kind of transformation of R cells into S cells that Griffith observed to occur in mice could also be demonstrated in culture with isolated pneumococcal cells?
- (b) Of what significance to Hershey and Chase was the following suggestion (made in 1951 by R. M. Herriott)? “A virus may act like a little hypodermic needle full of transforming principles; the virus as such never enters the cell; only the tail contacts the host and perhaps enzymatically cuts a small hole through the outer membrane and then the
nucleic acid of the virus head flows into the cell.” - (c) Of what significance to Watson and Crick were the data of their colleagues at Cambridge suggesting that the particular forms in which A, G, C, and T exist at physiological pH permit the formation of specific hydrogen bonds?
- (d) How did the findings of Hershey and Chase help explain an earlier report (by T. F. Anderson and R. M. Herriott) that bacteriophage T2 loses its ability to reproduce when it is burst open osmotically before adding them to a bacterial culture?

transformation and CRISPR. In your own words, briefly describe two differences between these technologies.
(For example, these can be differences between their outcomes, procedures, reagents, or something else.)
Predispositions in populations. Assume that 10% of the members of a population will get a particular disease over the course of their lifetime. Genomic studies reveal that 5% of the population have sequences in their genomes such that their probability of getting the disease over the course of their lifetimes is 50%. What is the average lifetime risk of this disease for the remaining 95% of the population without these sequences?
. Mutants of Neurospora crassa that lack carbamoyl phosphate syn-
thetase I (CPS I) require arginine in the medium in order to grow,
whereas mutants that lack carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II
(CPS II) require a pyrimidine, such as uracil. A priori, one would
expect the active CPS II in the arginine mutants to provide sufficient
carbamoyl phosphate for arginine synthesis, and the active CPS I in
the pyrimidine mutants to "feed" the pyrimidine pathway. Explain
these observations.

Describe the outcome of this deamination and explain in detail how E. coli repairs this mutation using base excision repair (BER). This repair should contain 5 steps and describe the function of all enzymes or structures.arrow_forwardTrue or False. Just write T if it is true and F if it is false. In E. coli both RNA and protein synthesis take place in the cytoplasm. Okazaki fragments are ssDNA CHAINS OF 100-200 nucleotides long, primed by very short RNA primers in bacteria. In eukaryotic gene, the coding sequences are known as introns while the intervening sequences are the exons. The central dogma refers to the fact that proteins are products of information encoded in RNA using a DNA intermediate. The ends of the linear chromosomes are maintained by telomerase to prevent it from shortening during mitosis. The Shine Delgarno sequence is where the RNA pol binds during transcription in prokaryotes The sigma subunit of the E. coli RNA polymerase confers specificity to transcription. Both DNA replication and transcription follow a 5’ to 3’ direction of polarity. Nucleosomes are the structural unit of chromatin. In the lagging strand, the enzyme X removes RNA primers attached by PRIMASE and this gap is then filled…arrow_forward
