∙ 11y agoSimply put, DNA is the genetic material, not protein. At that time no one was quite sure which was which. A clever experiment by Hersey and Chase settled this question. Google that experiment.

∙ 12y agoBecause the baterium was infected with and without proteins yet the result was different it was concluded that genes were probably made of DNA.

What did the experiment of Hershey and chase show?
DNA controls heredity, not proteins.
What did experiments of Hershey and chase show?
DNA controls heredity, not proteins.
What part of the virus did the hershey-chase experiment show had entered the bacteria?
Their genetic material
What part of the virus did the hershey chase experiment show had entered the bacteria?
Their genetic material
What researchers used radioactive markers in experiments to show that DNA was the genetic materials in cell?
According to my bio book, I think it's Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, in the HERSHEY-CHASE experiment.
These scientists used a common kitchen appliance to help show that phage DNA carries instructions ti make new phage particles?
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase....they used a blender....
What did Hershey and Chase's work establish?
Hershey and Chase completed research proving that DNA is the "stuff of heredity" and not just protein in 1952. There is information on how they used a bacteriophage to prove this residing on the Answers site.
What summarizes the findings of Hershey and Chase?
Alfred Hershey and Margaret Chase confirmed that DNA is a genetic material.
When did Alfred hershey and Martha Chase finally show that DNA was responsible for bacterial virus infection?
in 1953
What scientist conducted tests on extracts made of bacteria to show that the genetic material in bacteria is DNA?
It is not Hershey and Chase !! It is Oswald Avery that conducted these experiments!
Which radioactive tracer showed up in the bacteria that led Hershey and Chase to their conclusion that DNA not Protein was the genetic material?
According to my bio book, I think it's Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, in the HERSHEY-CHASE experiment.
What did hershey and chase observe in the offspring bacteria?
Hershey and Chase observed that DNA is the identity of the hereditary material in phage T2. Hershey and Chase used radioactive labels to mark the protein of the bacteriaphage in one experiment and the DNA in another.
