Hershey and Chase radioactively labelled T2 bacteriophage with P (DNA) and S (protein) to determine if protein or DNA carried the genetic material. They let the bacteriophage infect E.coli. The radioactive material found in the host E.coli contained the radioactive P (found in DNA) as the bacteriophage had multiplied inside the cell, but the radioactive S was not found inside the cell. Therefore DNA is the hereditary molecule
