Which of the following is correct about the Hershey-Chase experiment? A. They discovered that the protein from the virus entered the cell, while the DNA stayed behind. B. They infected viruses with bacterial cells. C. They determined that infected bacteria contained tags from the virus’s DNA. D. They found no way for hereditary material to be transferred between viruses and bacteria.

Answer 1

The answer is C.

Hershey and Chase did an experiment to determine whether it was the protein or the DNA that was the transformation principle in viruses by infecting bacteria cells with a virus.

They tagged the protein shell and the DNA and introduced them into a culture of bacteria cells. They concluded that it was DNA that entered the bacteria cells and not the protein.

Again the answer is C.
