|
The experiments by Hershey and Chase helped confirm that DNA was the hereditary material on the basis of the finding that:
|
|
radioactive phage were found in the pellet
|
|
|
radioactive cells were found in the supernatant
|
|
|
radioactive sulfur was found inside the cell
|
|
|
radioactive phosphorus was found in the cell
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The progeny of the phages that were labeled with radioactive phosphorus remained labeled, whereas the progeny of the phages labeled with radioactive sulfur were unlabeled. Thus, the Hershey–Chase experiment helped to confirm that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material.
