Because it infects bacteria and uses it as a factory to replicate and create more bacteriophage. T2 Bacteriophage undergoes lytic life cycle and NOT lysogenic life cycle
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.

The scientists used a blender to break open the bacterial cells infected by phages, releasing the phage DNA. This demonstrated that the phage DNA carries instructions to produce new phage particles when introduced into a host bacterial cell.
