AI Generated Solution

To address the question regarding the expected results of repeating the Hershey-Chase experiment using the isotopes \(^{32}P\) and \(^{15}N\) instead of \(^{35}S\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Original Experiment**: The Hershey-Chase experiment aimed to determine whether DNA or protein is the genetic material. They used \(^{35}S\) to label proteins and \(^{32}P\) to label DNA. The experiment showed that only the DNA entered the bacterial cells, indicating that DNA is the genetic material. 2. **Identify the Isotopes Used**: In this scenario, we are replacing \(^{35}S\) (which labels proteins) with \(^{15}N\). The isotopes provided are \(^{32}P\) (which can still label DNA) and \(^{15}N\) (which labels proteins but is non-radioactive). ...

Comprehension-1 Two closed identical conducting containers are found in the laboratory of an old scientist. For the vertification of the gas some experiments are performed on the two boxes and the results are noted. Experimenet 1. When the two containers are weighed W_(A) = 225tg, W_(B) = 160 g and mass of evacuated container W_(C) = 100g . Experiment 2. When the two containers are given same amount of heat same temperature rise is recorded. The pressure changes found are DeltaP_(A) = 2.5 atm, Deltap_(B) = 1.5 atm . Required data for unknown gas: |(underset("molar mass")(Mono)",He,Ne,Ar,Kr,Xe,Rd),(,4g,20g,40g,84g,131g,222g),(underset(molar mass)(Dia),H_(2),F_(2),N_(2),O_(2),CI_(2),),(,2g,19g,28g,32g,71g,)| Total number of molecules in 'A' (here N_(A) = Avagadro number)
