These experiments were to confirm that DNA was the genetic material in living things, which had previously been discovered by the Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher in his experiments on white blood cells, or leukocytes, between 1868 and 69.
Hershey shared the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his “discoveries concerning the genetic structure of viruses.”
Hershey and Chase used T2 phage, a bacteriophage.
The phage infects a bacterium by attaching to it and injecting its genetic material into it.
They labeled the phage DNA with radioactive Phosphorus-32.
They then followed the phages while they infected E. coli.
They found that the radioactive element left on the phage's DNA was only in the bacterium, and not in the phage, meaning that the DNA had entered the bacterium.
In a second experiment, Hershey and Chase put labels on the phage protein with radioactive Sulfur-35.
After the phage was attached to the bacterium, the radioactive element was found in the phage, but not in the bacterium.
This means that the phage's proteins stayed on the outside of the bacterium.
These results showed Hershey and Chase that the genetic material that infects the bacteria is DNA.

Antlion are a family of insects in the order Neuroptera with the scientific name Myrmeleontidae.
The most well-known genus is Myrmeleo.
There are about 2,000 species.
Most people know this insect because of the funnel-shaped pit, up to 2 inches in diameter and depth, produced by the larval stages of this insect to trap ants.
Larvae have globular abdomens and narrower, flattened heads bearing sickle-shaped jaws.
Adults superficially resemble drab-colored, 1 ½ inch long damselflies with four long, narrow, net-veined wings roof-like held over a long, skinny abdomen when at rest.
Unlike damselflies, however, ant-lion antennae are prominent and clubbed at the end.
Antlions burrow in the ground, forming a pit for prey to fall into.
The pit is angled so that the sides of the pit crumble when the victim tries to climb out.
After being swallowed by the antlion, the victim is kept alive and slowly digested over 1,000 years, where they will fund a new definition of pain and suffering.
The prey is restrained by tentacles in the stomach to prevent it from escaping.
Body image refers to the perceptions of a human's own physical appearance.
It can also refer to  the internal sense of having a body which is interpreted by the brain.
A 2007 report by the American Psychological Association found that a culture-wide sexualization of girls (and women) was contributing to increased female anxiety associated with body image.
The study found that women are more worried about their body image than men, though the last pioneered the culture of bodybuilding.

Don McLean (born October 2, 1945) is an American singer and songwriter.
He is most well known for the songs "American Pie" and "Vincent".
In his early career, Don McLean mainly played folk music.
He sang folk songs and played simple chords with acoustic guitar and harmonica.
In 1969, Don Mclean joined folk singer Pete Seeger in the environment campaign.
They gave talks and playing concerts to help people know some of the problems with the environment.
Also in the same year, Don McLean released his first album Tapestry.
This album was not very successful.
McLean continued to perform in many small places.
In 1971, Don Mclean released an eight minute long song named "American Pie".
The song was dedicated to Don McLean’s music hero Buddy Holly.
Much of the song was about the deaths of Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson) in 1959.
It also dealt with many important events in American history.
Quickly "American Pie" became the number 1 song in the United States.
Don McLean became a superstar and drew many audiences to his concerts.
In 2005, American Pie was voted 5th in the "365 songs of the century" list.
His second single "Vincent", featuring Vincent Van Gogh's masterpiece "Starry Night", also topped the UK and US charts in 1971.
The song is played in Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam every day.
In the later 1970s, Don McLean tried other styles of songs.
He was not as popular with these other styles.
Bad sales of albums caused him to change recording companies from one to another.
Finally, in 1980, Don McLean regained his popularity by playing "Crying", a song first sang by Roy Orbison.
The song reached the first place in UK chart.
Don McLean is not as popular today as he was before.
He is still writing and singing his own songs and performing in concerts.
The famous guitar player, Eric Clapton, spoke highly of Don McLean’s guitar playing skill after listening to his guitar performance.
Also, Don McLean’s performance on stage once inspired Lori Lieberman to write the 1974 Grammy-winning song "Killing me softly with his song".
Most of the successive folk singers entitled him with "US legend"

The word accent has more than one meaning.
Accent could mean any of the following:
The way that a group of people say words; how they pronounce words and sentences is their accent.
The Acute accent is one symbol that tells how to say a word, such as é, as used in the word née.
It is a diacritic.
The Hyundai Accent is a compact car.
A diacritic is a mark put above, below, through or on a letter.
Examples ar an acute accent or a grave accent.
The word comes from the Greek word διακριτικός (transl.
diakritikós = 'distinguishing').
Usually, it affects the way the word is said (pronounced).
Most diacritics concern pronunciation because most alphabets do not describe the sounds of words exactly.
Diacritics are rare in English, but common in many other languages.
English orthography often uses digraphs (like "ph", "sh", "oo", and "ea") rather than diacritics to show more sounds than can be shown with single letters of the Latin alphabet.
Unlike other systems (such as Spanish) where the spelling shows how to say the words, English pronunciation is so varied that diacritics alone would not make it phonetic.
By using digraphs we show sounds which are not shown by single letters.
Diacritics are not used much in modern English.
Two types of diacritics have become part of everyday English: the dot above the "i" or "j" and the apostrophe.
But they are no longer commonly thought of as being diacritical.
The apostrophe is used to show missing letters (elision, it's to replace it is) and show possession (as in Mike's car).
In most other cases, use of diacritics for native English words is considered old-fashioned (not used anymore).
Diaereses (similar to umlauts) can be used on words where two vowels next to each other are pronounced separately like noöne, reëstablished, or coöperate (two vowels pronounced together are a diphthong).
This method is still used sometimes.
Diacritics are sometimes used in loanwords (words of foreign origin), such as  naïve, entrée, pâté, façade, which are French words.
Letter e: common are the acute accent é (rising voice, as in the French word née), grave accent è (lowering voice); élève has (from the left) acute, grave and silent e. The cedilla ç denotes a soft c.
A different principle is illustrated by the circumflex î.
This usually shows the loss of letter: e.g. maistre (Middle French) > maître (modern French).
Thus its function is historical.
Also, less often, the circumflex is used to distinguish between homophones.
These are words spelt the same, but with different meanings.
Example: sur = on, but sûr = safe.
In those cases the pronunciation of the two words may be different.
In Spanish the acute accent simply signals stress, e.g. educación.
There the stress is on the last vowel, not on the usual second to last.
Second to last vowel (syllable) is the usual position for stress in spoken Spanish.
It is usually not signalled by a printed accent.
Where the stress is in its usual place, the end consonant is often dropped in speech.
The tilde ñ is pronounced something like ny.
It counts as a separate letter in their dictionaries, coming after n.
The double L is pronounced as our Y and LL is in Spanish dictionaries in its own section,  after the single L section.
The umlaut ü in German is pronounced ue, and is less used in modern German.
Historical name-spellings should always keep the umlaut if it was used for that name.
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish
The Scandinavian languages treat the characters with diacritics ä, ö and å as new and separate letters of the alphabet, and sort them after z. Usually ä is sorted as equal to æ (ash) and ö is sorted as equal to ø (o-slash).
Also, aa, when used as an alternative spelling to å, is sorted as such.
Other letters modified by diacritics are treated as variants of the underlying letter, with the exception that ü is frequently sorted as y.
Non-Roman scripts
Scripts for semitic languages such as Arabic and Hebrew have a wide variety of diacritics.
This is partly because the scripts for semitic languages were originally formed without separate letters for vowels, and partly because some of the languages (Arabic in particular) are spoken in a number of dialects.
Everything as a service(EaaS, XaaS,  *aaS) is a concept of being able to call up re-usable, fine-grained software components across a network.
It is a subset of cloud computing.
The most common and successful example is software as a service (SaaS), but the term as a service has been associated and used with many core components of cloud computing including communication, infrastructure, data and platforms.
Offerings tagged with the as a service suffix have a number of common attributes, including:
Low barriers to entry is a common method of offerings, with services typically being available to or targeting consumers and small businesses.
Little or no capital expenditure as infrastructure is owned by the provider.
Massive scalability is also common, though this is not an absolute requirement and many of the offerings have yet to achieve large scale.
Multitenancy enables resources (and costs) to be shared among many users.
Device independence enables users to access systems regardless of what device they are using (e.g. PC, mobile,...etc.).
Location independence allows users remote access to systems.

Standard Chinese or Standard Mandarin, is the official modern Chinese spoken language used in mainland China and Taiwan and is one of the four official languages of Singapore.
It is based off the Mandarin dialect and should not be confused with other varieties of Chinese.

There are many languages in Singapore.
The reason is that Singapore has a multi-ethnic society.
The Singapore government recognises four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil.
Due to the Singapore's history, the symbolic national language is Malay.
The local patois spoken on the streets is a creole called Singlish amongst the locals.
It is known by academics as 'Singapore Colloquial English'.
Working language
English was introduced to Singapore by the British in 1819.
The British established a port, later a colony, on the island.
English had been the administrative language of the colonial government, and when Singapore gained self-government in 1959 and independence in 1965, the local government decided to keep English as the working language.
It is not against the law to speak mother tongue during working hours.
It is against the law to forbid people speaking their mother tongue anywhere at work as long as it does not harm the business and/or compromise safety at work.
As a result, most Singaporeans have at least conversational ability and basic literacy in a minimum of two languages: English, and the language that is used at home.
Many more are conversant in three or more languages.
About 60% of Singapore's Indian population speaks Tamil as their native language.
Other Indian languages include Malayalam and Hindi.
A handful of Portuguese Eurasians still speak a Portuguese-creole known as Papia Kristang.
The most fluent speakers however, come from the pre-war generation.

The Sino-Tibetan or Trans-Himalayan languages, form a language family.
This includes Chinese and the Tibeto-Burman languages and some 250 languages of East Asia.
Kra-Dai languages and Hmong–Mien languages are also sometimes included.
The largest language within this family are the Chinese languages by far with over 1.3 billion native speakers.
It is also the one with the oldest writing (hanzi) going back to the Jiahu symbols in 6600 BC.
All these languages descend from a single proto-language.
People are still working on what this sounded like.
Some researchers think the Sino-Tibetan languages very likely came from the Huanghe in North-Central China (Zhongyuan).
Others think they came from much further west, in southwest China or even Northeast India.
Zhang et al. (
2019) did a study of 109 Sino-Tibetan languages to suggest a Sino-Tibetan homeland in northern China near the Huanghe basin.
He found there was a split between Sinitic languages and the Tibeto-Burman languages approximately 4,200-7,800 years ago (with an average of 5,900 years ago).
This is connected with the expansion of the Yangshao culture and Majiayao culture.
Others agree by using different data; they say it came from around 7,200 years ago, around the Cishan and early Yangshao culture.
Example languages
Qiang language is spoken in Gansu.
It is agglutinative like other Altaic languages.
Meitei language (Manipuri language) is the most widely spoken Sino Tibetan language in India.
Various other Sino-Tibetan languages are also spoken in Northeast India.
Tibetan is spoken by around 6 million people.
Burmese is the language of Myanmar and is spoken by around 33 million.
Evolution of language
Proto-Chinese and Proto-Tibeto-Burman had many different prefixes and suffixes.
Proto-Chinese changed to Old Chinese around the Shang Dynasty.
This is shown in the Book of songs.
Nouns, verbs, and modifiers were all dependent on affixes (beginning of words) such as *s-, *p-, *-k.
After the Warring State Period in China, Old Chinese started using tones.
The suffix (end of words) *-s was also used.
The typical word order in Sino-Tibetan languages is object-verb.
Modern Chinese, Bai, Karenic, and Mruic are exceptions.
SOV is likely the original word order.
Over time Chinese became subject–verb–object.
However, Chinese differs from almost all other VO languages in the world in placing relative clauses before the nouns they modify.
Relation to other language families
Sino-Tibetan may be related to the Altaic languages.

Most of the bands Michael has played with are in the power metal genre.
He is one of the most notable drummers of that style.
Michael has played an important part in shaping the drumming characteristics of this genre.
The first album he recorded was Prayers of Steel with the band Avenger (the band would later change their name to Rage).
By the middle of the 1980s, he no longer worked with just one band, but worked as a studio session drummer.
Because of this, he has been a part of many different bands and albums.

The hermit crab is a type of crab that does not have a hard shell.
They use old shells for protection.
They especially like old whelk shells.
When the hermit crab grows in size, it finds a larger shell.
The hermit crab is a crustacean, but it is very different from other crustaceans.
While most crustaceans are covered from head to tail with a hard exoskeleton, the hermit crab is missing part of its exoskeleton.
The back part where its abdomen is located, is soft and squishy.
Thus, the minute a hermit crab molts into an adult, it sets out to find a shell in which to live.
To get into the shell, the hermit crab squeezes in backwards, using its four back legs to enter the shell.
The back legs have hooks that anchor the hermit crab into the shell without difficulty.
The next four legs are used for walking, while the front two are its chelipeds.
The chelipeds are not equal in size: one is big and other is small.
The larger one is used for grabbing prey and guarding the entrance to its shell.
All together, hermit crabs have a total of ten legs, including the chelipeds and the rear legs used to anchor to the shell.
There are about 500 different species of hermit crabs around the world, and they have different colors, often with patterns like stripes and dots on their bodies.
Most hermit crab species live on the ocean floor, but many live on land.
Female terrestrial (land based) hermit crabs must return to the sea to breed.
Hermit crabs are omnivores (eating plants and animals) and scavengers (eating dead animals that they find).
They eat worms, plankton, lime chips, and organic debris.
Hermit crabs first appeared in the Cretaceous period, before the Dinosaurs became extinct (died out).
Fossils have been found where they have used Ammonite shells.
The reproductive (sexual) organs of hermit crabs are located near and just below the animal's heart and open to the outside at the base of the last pair of walking legs in the male.
In the female, they are located at the base of the middle pair of walking legs.
Female hermit crabs usually lay their eggs shortly after copulating (mating) but they can also store sperm (male sexual cells) for many months.
The eggs are fertilised as they are laid by passing through the chamber holding the sperm.
The eggs are carried and hatched in a mass attached to the abdomen inside the shell.
The number of eggs is usually large, but depends on the animal's size.
Humidity gauges (humidity: 75- relative)
Temperature gauges (temperature: 70-75 °F)
Substrate: sand, coconut fiber (must be deep and soft enough to dig in so that crabs can molt)
Minimum of a 5 gallon tank for one crab; and 10 gallon tank for about 20 crabs
Shells (shells are changed during growth)
Separate molting tank[dubious – discuss]
Fresh water dish
Salt water pool for submerging (aquarium salt)
Alexander Elliot Anderson "Alex" Salmond (surname pronounced SAM-MOND; born 31 December 1954 in Linlithgow, Scotland) is a Scottish politician who is a former First Minister of Scotland and former leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) which is a political party that wants Scotland to become an independent country from the United Kingdom.
He is also the longest-serving First Minister of Scotland, with over seven-and-a-half years in office.
Alex Salmond studied at the University of St Andrews and became an economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Salmond became a Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency of Banff and Buchan at the 1987 General Election.

He became a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Banff and Buchan at the 1999 Scottish Parliament Election and resigned as SNP leader in 2000.
Salmond became the party leader again in 2004 and stood in the 2007 Scottish Parliament election for the constituency of Gordon.
At this election, the SNP received the highest number of seats and the highest share of the vote in Scotland, but did not have enough seats to form a majority government.
The SNP then formed a minority government with Alex Salmond as First Minister.
Alex Salmond was against the 2003 invasion of Iraq and was one of several MPs who called for Prime Minister Tony Blair to be impeached.
At the 2010 General Election, Alex Salmond stood down as a Member of Parliament but argued against the BBC's decision not to allow the SNP on the televised Prime Ministerial Debates.
On 19 September 2014, following the results of the independence referendum which confirmed a majority of the Scottish people had voted to remain as part of the United Kingdom, Salmond announced that he would be resigning as First Minister in November 2014.
Salmond formally resigned as First Minister on 18 November 2014, with his deputy, Nicola Sturgeon taking office two days later.
First Minister of Scotland is the chief executive of the government of Scotland.
The current First Minister of Scotland is Nicola Sturgeon of the Scottish National Party, since 20 November 2014 after Alex Salmond resigned following the defeat of the pro-independence campaign in the Scottish independence referendum.
The first was Donald Dewar, who died in office in 2000.
Alex Salmond was the longest-serving First Minister with over seven-and-a-half years in office.
The official residence of First Minister is Bute House in Edinburgh, Scotland.
