Best Answer

It didn't. The DNA ended up in the pellet-like bacteria that was at the bottom of the centrifuge. The protein capsids ended up in the supernatant because they weren't injected into the bacteria cells. The supernatant was separated from the bacteria cells because the bacteria was heavier and fell to the bottom.
