In an experiment, viruses were marked with radioactive DNA labeled with phosphorus 32. as shown on the left, or with radioactive protein, which was labeled with sulfur 35, shown on the right. After the viruses infected bacteria, radiation was found inside only the bacteria that had been infected by the virus that had radioactive DNA. Bacteriophage labeled with phosphorus-32 Bacteriophage labeled with sulfur-35 What is the experiment called, and what is its significance?

A. The Hershey-Chase experiment showed that the radioactive DNA is found inside the Infected bacteria; therefore, DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information

B. The Hershey-Chase experiment showed that viruses with either radioactive DNA or radioactive protein can Infect bacteria; therefore, both types of molecules can eary genetic information.

C. The Franklin X-ray experiment showed that radioactive DNA forms a helical structure Inside the infected bacteria; therefore, DNA is the molecule that cames genetie information.

D. The Franklin X-ray experiment showed that either radioactive DNA or radioactive protein can form a helical structure inside the infected bacteria; therefore, both types of molecules can carry genetic information​
