Cataracts Facts. 1  Cataracts are changes in clarity of the natural lens inside the eye that gradually degrade visual quality. The natural lens sits behind the colored part of the eye (iris) in the area of the pupil, and cannot be directly seen with the naked eye unless it becomes extremely cloudy.
Hershey and Chase. Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase did an Experiment in 1952 that was called the Hershey-Chase Experiment. This experiment set out to determine what composed the genetic material of a bacteriophage. A bacteriophage is a virus that infects a bacterium.
For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment with modifications. They decided to label the nitrogen of the DNA rather than the phosphate. They reasoned each nucleotide has only one phosphate and two to five nitrogens.
