What scientist conducted tests on extracts made of bacteria to show that the genetic material in bacteria is DNA?
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted the famous Hershey-Chase experiment in 1952, which confirmed that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material in bacteriophages. They used radioactive labeling to trace the genetic material within the bacteriophages, providing evidence for the role of DNA in heredity.
What did hershey and chase discover after the p-labeled phages infected the bacteria most of the radioactive phosphorous found in the layer containing?
Hershey and Chase discovered that after the P-labeled phages infected the bacteria, most of the radioactive phosphorus was found in the viral DNA, while little to no radioactive sulfur (used to label protein) was found. This confirmed that genetic material, not protein, is responsible for heredity in viruses.
What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?
The Hershey-Chase blender experiment helped prove that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a bacteriophage. By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.
What did Hershey and chase attach radioactive sulfur to?
Hershey and Chase attached radioactive sulfur to proteins in the bacteriophage's outer coat in one experiment, and to DNA in another experiment, to determine which molecule was injected into the host bacteria during viral infection. They found that only DNA, not proteins, was passed on to the host bacterium. This confirmed that DNA is the genetic material responsible for heredity.
What did hersey and chase discover?
Hershey and Chase's experiments in 1952 provided evidence that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material in bacteriophages. They used radioactive isotopes to track the transmission of DNA and protein from the phage to the bacteria during infection, showing that it was the DNA that carried the genetic information.
What did hershey and chase observe in 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.

What part of the virus did the hershey-chase experiment show had entered the bacteria?
Their genetic material

Their genetic material
What did Hershey and Chase show the genetic material of the t2 bacteriophage was?
DNA is the genetic material. However, Hershey-Chase also stated that some little sulfur containing material also entered the bacterial cell. Looking at these two conclusions, Hershey-Chase could not reach a definite conclusion as to whether DNA or Protein contains the genetic material. The conclusion came from Watson-Crick who stated that the sulfur containing material could have entered the cell due to the fact that DNA replication and subsequently translation of the mRNA leads to the synthesis of sulfur containing protein which were found in the bacterial cell.
What did Hershey and chase attach radioactive sulfur to?
Hershey and Chase attached radioactive sulfur to proteins in the bacteriophage's outer coat in one experiment, and to DNA in another experiment, to determine which molecule was injected into the host bacteria during viral infection. They found that only DNA, not proteins, was passed on to the host bacterium. This confirmed that DNA is the genetic material responsible for heredity.
Why did Hershey and Chase's experiment work only because of the use of radioactive labeling?
Hershey and Chase's experiment worked because they used radioactive labeling to track the DNA and protein separately. This allowed them to determine that only the DNA, not the protein, was passed on to the next generation of bacteria.
Using radioactive tracers to determine the interactions of bacteriophages and their host bacteria Hershey and Chase demonstrated without question that?
