Answer:
The correct option is D. Hershey and Chase
Explanation:
Experiments carried on by Hershey and Chase proved that DNA is the genetic material. It discarded the former belief that proteins were the genetic material.
Hershey and Chase carried out their experiments by using radioisotope of phosphorus (32P) and sulphur (35S) to prove their point. Phosphorus is present only in DNA whereas sulphur is present in proteins but absent in DNA. Hence, the usage of these isotopes acted as radioactive markers to prove the results of their experiments.
