PROBLEM: Most non-battle-related casualties from this war stemmed from an outbreak of yellow fever and Russell Alger's decision to supply troops with spoiled meat, leading to the "Embalmed Beef" scandal. One front of this war was commanded by William Shafter, who ordered the attack on El Caney, while a far-away front was commanded by George Dewey.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: An RNA polymerase from one of these organisms is commonly used in in vitro transcription experiments, and one well-studied example of these organisms uses the Q antiterminator to transcribe its structural components. Benzer's rII system uses these organisms for single-nucleotide mutation mapping, and the Phi-X-174 example of these organisms was the first to have its genome (*) sequenced. These organisms carry genetic information between cells in transduction. These organisms were labeled with 32P and 35S in the experiment that showed that DNA is the substance that stores genetic information, performed by Hersey and Chase. These organisms use their tail proteins as an injection mechanism. For 10 points, name these viruses that infect bacteria.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: His early works, such as The Martydom of St. Erasmus, differ from later canvases like The Gathering of the Manna.
