Griffith, Avery, Hershey, and Chase
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.
Protein covered genetic material refers to the structure of a virus, where the genetic material (RNA or DNA) is surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. This capsid protects the viral genetic material and helps the virus infect host cells.
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.
Frederick Griffith's experiments showed that genetic material could be transferred between bacteria, but the exact nature of this material remained unclear. Specifically, it was unknown if the genetic material was protein-based or DNA-based. This question was later resolved through the work of Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty, who demonstrated that DNA was the genetic material responsible for the transformation observed by Griffith.

Avery's experiments showed that DNA, not protein, was the molecule responsible for the transformation of bacteria. This provided strong evidence that DNA is the genetic material that carries hereditary information.
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.
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
genetic material is a cell that can be turn into a amino acid to a protein.
Alfred Hershey and Margaret Chase confirmed that DNA is a genetic material.
His experiment supplied evidence that DNA is not the genetic material by showing that the activity of the material responsible for transformation was not affected by protein-destroying enzymes, but was destroyed when a DNA-destroying enzyme was present. Cristian Mendoza 11/1/12
Avery's experiments demonstrated that DNA, not protein, is the molecule responsible for transferring genetic information in bacteria. This was a significant finding as it helped confirm the role of DNA as the genetic material.
