What did the genetic material have to do, according to Mendel? Select all that apply:
Be passed on unchanged from parent to child
Be a trait passed on
... [Show More] to the next generation even though it may be hidden in an individual
Be present in each organism in two copies, one from each parent
Experiment 1: Non-infectious bacteria

Heat-killed infectious bacteria
Drag either the dead or the live mouse over the question mark, then hit next to find out the actual results of the experiment
Mouse dies
Which do you think is the best explanation for why the mouse died in the fourth experiment?
The dead infectious bacteria passed information to the non-infectious bacteria, allowing it to become infectious
Step 2
picture that the two bubbles are connected
Step 3
two separate circles
What conclusions can you draw from the finished sequence that occurred with the bacteria to the right? Select all that apply:
Bacteria can pass on non-living material that results in changes in other bacteria
One bacterium incorporated new genetic material into its own
Some bacteria can share genetic material with other bacteria
True or False: Humans also do this horizontal infomation passing or transfer and are able to pass on and pick up information from other humans and other organisms.
False
Which ones are biological macromolecules? Select all that you think apply:
Proteins
Nucleic Acid
Lipids
Carbohydrates
Which of these macro-molecules do you think is the genetic material - the blueprint for our personal traits, passed from parents to child?
protein
If your hypothesis (nucleic acids are the genetic material) is accurate, what results would you expect? Select all that apply:
proteins will be transferred from the virus to the bacteria
The bacteria will be changed after the infection
Choose a molecule to label, like in the Hershey-Chase experiment,
where the molecule was labeled radioactively in a virus, called a bacteriophage (right), that infects bacteria and causes them to incorporate its genetic material
Will chose all to run an experiment on
What is one interpretation of these results?
Lipids are not the genetic material
What is one interpretation of these results?
Proteins are not the genetic material
What is one interpretation of these results?
Nucleic acids are the genetic material
What is one interpretation of these results?
Carbohydrates are not the genetic material
What conclusion do your results support?
Nucleic acids are the genetic material
Do your results support your hypothesis (nucleic acids)?
My results do not support the hypothesis
Do your results support the early 20th century hypothesis that proteins are the genetic material?
My results do not support the hypothesis
