alleryThe Hershey-Chase experiment (1952) proved that:
ARNA carries genetic information
BProteins carry genetic information
CDNA carries the genetic information
DLipids carry genetic information
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. DNA carries the genetic information
Hershey-Chase used radioactive ³²P (DNA marker) and ³⁵S (protein marker) in bacteriophage T2. Only ³²P entered bacterial cells.
**Conclusion:** DNA, not protein, is the genetic material.
