What were the results of Hershey and Chase's experiment?
A)Hershey and chase's experiment convinced many scientist that DNA was the genetic materials found in genes. Not just viruses and bacteria but all living cells.
B) The experiment provided strong evidence that DNA, rather than protein, was the genetic material responsible for viral replication and, by extension, genetic information in all living cells.
C) It demonstrated that the radioactive DNA entered the bacterial cells, while the radioactive protein did not, confirming that DNA was the material responsible for heredity and genetic transmission.
D) The findings supported the understanding that genetic information is carried by DNA, not proteins, which had a profound impact on the field of genetics.
