An organic farmer is having problems with a particular insect pest in his fields and has consulted the local agricultural extension office for possible solutions. He cannot use pesticides on his fields if he is to maintain his organic certification. You are consulted about the possible use of an entomopathogenic nematode as a means of controlling the insect pest. You need to consider ALL BUT which of the following?
a. Entomopathogenic nematodes are very host-specific, so you must determine if one is available for the particular insect pest the farmer wants to kill.
b. Only certain species of nematodes are entomopathogenic and carry symbiotic bacteria capable of killing insects.
c. You must be wary of the nematode killing beneficial insects like pollinating bees, because they are generalist pathogens.
d. The entomopathogenic nematodes must be acquired when they are in a part of their life cycle during which they can survive outside of the insect host and are infective

Imagine you are a student in alfred hershey and martha chase's lab in the late 1940's. you are given five test tubes with the e. coli bacteria that were infected with t2 bacteriophage that have been labeled with 32p or 35s. unfortunately, you forgot to label the tubes and are now uncertain which were 32p labeled and which were 35s labeled. you place the contents of each tube in a blender and pulse it for a few seconds to shear off the protein coats from the bacterial outer membranes. you then centrifuge the contents to seperate the protein coats and the bacterial cells. you then check for radioactivity and obtain the results shown below. which tubes contained e. coli infected with the phage labeled with 32p? select all tubes that apply.
