Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1952, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted a research that came to the conclusion that DNA is the basis of hereditary genetic material. This landmark of science became known as the Hershey-Chase experiment and consisted of an experiment called "blender experiment" which proved that it is DNA - not protein - that is responsible for the transmission of genetic material, contrary to the scientific consensus of the time. The experiment won the Nobel Prize in 1969.
