ROLE OF BACTERIOPHAGES IN GENETICS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INTRODUCTION AND DISCOVERY: A bacteriophage is any one of a number of viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages are among the most common biological entities on Earth. The term is commonly used in its shortened form‚ phage.Typically; bacteriophages consist of an outer protein capsid‚ enclosing genetic material. The genetic material can be ssRNA‚ dsRNA‚ ssDNA‚ or dsDNA along with either circular or linear arrangement. Bacteriophages are

Professor Tolentino Maria Oyervide EXPERIMENT #4 IONIC AND COVALENT COMPOUNDS Abstract: This experiment was divided in four steps to find the electrical conductivity of covalent and ionic solutions. There were four unknown solutes A‚ B and C. Each had a specific weight and was dissolved in a certain amount of solute to form either the covalent or ionic solution. Covalent compounds are made up of molecules which are electrically neutral. Ionic compounds are composed of ions‚ which are positively

Chemistry December 14‚ 2010 Conductivity of Ionic solutions Introduction This lab report is about the conductivity of ionic solutions. In class we have been discussing wether all ionic solutions conduct equally well. If an solvent solution conducts electricity‚ then it must contain ions. So measuring the conductance of solutions can tell you whether the solutes in the solution are dissociated into ions. (Conductivity) Any type of solution‚ even ionic solutions‚ provide resistance to the flow of

type of compound usually has higher melting points‚ ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds usually have higher melting points. This is because the atoms of covalent compounds are bound strongly to each other in stable molecules‚ but those molecules are in general not very strongly attracted to other molecules in the compound. On the other hand‚ the atoms in ionic compounds show strong attractions to other ions in

Another postulate of the kinetic molecular theory is that gas particles are always in motion‚ like the other states of matter. But they are different in that they undergo random translational movement. In solids‚ the particles mainly experience vibrational motion and in liquids they mainly vibrate and rotate‚ with some translational motion. Gas particles move rapidly in straight lines‚ unless acted upon by another particle or the walls of a container. This continuous contact with the container leads
