Question

based on their experiment with t2 bacteriophages, hershey and chase concluded that
multiple choice
virulent bacteria can transform nonvirulent bacteria.
a always pairs with t and g always pairs with c.
dna functions as the genetic material.
the phage coat contains the genetic material.
dna replication is semiconservative.

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase's experiment with T2 bacteriophages involved labeling the protein coat and DNA of the phages separately. They found that the DNA, not the protein coat, entered the bacteria and was responsible for the production of new phages. This led them to conclude that DNA functions as the genetic material.

Answer:

C. DNA functions as the genetic material.
