My Biology book says:

Hershey and Chase's experiment with bacteriophages confirmed Avery's results, convincing many scientists that DNA was the genetic material found in genes- not just in viruses and bacteria, but in all living cells.

Hoped this helps :)

Bacterial cells do not have genetic material?

Bacterial cells do have genetic material, which is usually in the form of a single circular chromosome located in the nucleoid region of the cell. This genetic material contains the information needed for the cell to function and replicate.


What are genetic materials found in a bacterium?

The genetic material in the bacterial cell is DNA.


When two bacterial cells temporarily join and directly transfer genetic material this is called?

Bacterial conjugation.


What attaches to a bacteria and injects their hereditary material?

A bacteriophage attaches to a bacterium and injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell. This genetic material then uses the bacterial host's machinery to replicate and produce more phages, eventually leading to the lysis of the host cell.


Two bacterial cells temporarily join and transfer genetic material?

Yes, this process process is called bacterial conjugation.


What did British scientist Fredrick Griffith?

Frederick Griffith discovered the phenomenon of bacterial transformation in 1928 while studying Streptococcus pneumoniae. His experiment involved two strains of the bacteria - a virulent, smooth strain and a non-virulent, rough strain - and showed that genetic material could be transferred between them. This experiment laid the foundation for the study of bacterial genetics and paved the way for the discovery of DNA as the genetic material.


What is the material that phages insert into bacteria?

Phages insert their genetic material, which is typically DNA, into bacteria. This genetic material carries the instructions for the phage to replicate itself within the bacterial cell.


What is the genetic material in a bacterial cell?

The genetic material in a bacterial cell is typically a single circular chromosome made of DNA. Some bacteria also contain plasmids, which are smaller, independent DNA molecules that can replicate separately from the chromosome.
