Question

In the Hershey/Chase experiment phage proteins and DNA were radioactively labeled and allowed to inject coding material into bacteria. It was found that only radioactively labeled DNA was present in the bacterial cells which had been transformed. If radioactively labeled protein had been discovered in the transformed cells, what would this have told us about the molecules acting in genetics?

Answer 1

f radioactively labeled protein had been discovered in the transformed cells, what would this have told us about the molecules acting in genetics?

Answer- If the radioactive protein were detected in cells of bacteria, then it would have suggested that protein is the genetic material.

Please see the following diagram, it shows the Hershey / chase experiment that proved DNA is the genetic material.
