Griffith, Avery, Hershey, and Chase
Viruses are bits of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, that are covered in a protein sheath.
Yes, eukaryotes have a nucleus which contains the genetic materials such as DNA and other protein complexes.
No. DNA is genetic material that carries the instructions for making proteins.
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
Griffith, Avery, Hershey, and Chase
They found that all of the viral DNA and little of the protein had entered E. coli cells. Then they concluded that DNA is the hereditary molecule in viruses.
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
genetic material is a cell that can be turn into a amino acid to a protein.
His experiment supplied evidence that DNA is not the genetic material by showing that the activity of the material responsible for transformation was not affected by protein-destroying enzymes, but was destroyed when a DNA-destroying enzyme was present. Cristian Mendoza 11/1/12

The protein sequence.
scientists
Scientists thought genetic material was a protein not DNA because there are 20 different amino acids for a building of a protein polymer, while DNA polymers only have 4 nucleotide bases.
Protective protein coat
Protein was originally thought to be the genetic material because of its complexity, protein is made up 20 different amino acids while DNA only consists of four bases. This was logical as the complexity would account for diversity in organisms. But after more research was done it was realized that DNA was actually the genetic material.
