Question

What would Hershey and Chase have concluded if both radioactive 32P and 35S were found in the bacteria in their experiment?

Answer 1

They might have concluded that both protein and DNA transmitted hereditary material. The 32P was a radioisotope in DNA, and the 35S was a radioisotope in proteins. They were used to track the DNA and proteins to see if they were injected by a virus into a bacterium. Hugs
