Tell me about the Hershey & Chase experiment with phages.
They used a bacteriophage and injected both sulfur and phosphorous. Only phosphorous showed up in the cell confirming DNA was the transmittable hereditary molecule

2. Cytosol
3. Ribosomes
A human cell is placed in pure water. Which is hypertonic? Which is hypotonic? What will happen to the cell
The cell is hypertonic relative to the water that is hypotonic. Water will travel in to the cell and it will burst
