Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure represents the experiment conducted by Hershey and Chase, which demonstrated that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material. The figure shows the results of labeling the DNA of bacteriophages with radioactive phosphorus and the protein coat with radioactive sulfur, and determining which radioactive label was transferred to E. coli cells during infection. The data supports the conclusion that the DNA of the bacteriophage enters the host cell, while the protein capsid does not.
