in the hershey and chase experiment that helped confirm that dna, not protein, was the hereditary material, what was the key finding? see concept 16.1 (page)

Sagot :

The final experiment, also known as the Waring Blender experiment, in which Hershey and Chase demonstrated that phages only injected their DNA into host bacteria and that the DNA acted as the replicating genetic element of phages, is the Hershey-Chase experiment that is most well-known.

It was demonstrated by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase that a virus may infect a bacterium with just its DNA. Their research offered compelling evidence that genes are composed of DNA. The conclusion that Avery et al. had more tentatively offered in 1944 was strongly repeated by them.

In a series of three experiments, Hershey and Chase tagged the DNA and protein of bacteriophages using radioactive isotopes. The bacteriophage protein stayed linked to the bacterium it was permitted to infect. the cell membrane of the phage, while phage DNA entered the bacteria. This showed that DNA represented the genetic material found in living organisms.
