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....


Who concluded that the genetis material of a bacteriophage is DNA?

The scientists Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted a series of experiments at the Carnegie Institute of Washington in 1952, and concluded that the genetic material of a bacteriophage was DNA.


Who was the first person to declare DNA to be the genetic material?

In 1928, Frederick Griffith was able to transform harmless bacteria into virulent pathogens with an extract that Oswald Avery proved, in 1944, to be DNA. In 1952, Martha Chase and Alfred Hershey used radioactively labeled virus DNA to infect bacteria, proving the same point.


How did the Hershey and Chase experiment produce evidence that DNA and not protein is the hereditary material and viruses?

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.


What scientist concluded that DNA was the factor that caused one bacterium to transfer into another?

In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty published a paper demonstrating that DNA was the transforming factor.Their discovery was at first met with disbelief by some scientists, who thought that only proteins could have enough complexity to hold genetic information. Also, for a while some scientists thought bacteria might have a different genetic chemistry from other organisms.Avery
