In their experiments, Hershey and Chase showed that when bacteriophages, which are composed of DNA and protein, infect bacteria, their DNA enters the host bacterial cell, but most of their protein does not. Although the results were not conclusive, and Hershey and Chase were cautious in their interpretation, previous, contemporaneous and subsequent discoveries all served to prove that DNA is the hereditary material.

What component did bacteria and bacteriophages have in common in hershey and chases experiment?

In the Hershey and Chase experiment, both bacteria and bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) shared the component of DNA. The experiment aimed to determine whether DNA or protein was the genetic material by using radioactive labeling. They used phosphorus to label DNA in the bacteriophages and sulfur to label proteins, ultimately demonstrating that only the DNA entered the bacterial cells, indicating that DNA was the material responsible for heredity.


Hersheys and chases experiment led to the conclusion that?
