Question

how dna behaves as genetic material?​

Answer 1

HEY HERE  IS YOUR ANSWER

dna behaves as genetic material BECAUSE

scientists believed that the genetic material was protein. In 1952, Hershey & Chase were the ones to conclusively prove that DNA is the genetic material. They worked with bacteriophages – viruses that infect bacteria. ... Then, centrifugation was used to separate the viral particles from the bacteria.

They are basically DNA inside a protein coat. To reproduce, a virus must insert its own genetic material into a cell (such as a bacterium). Then it uses the cell's machinery to make more viruses. The researchers used different radioactive elements to label the DNA and proteins in viruses

The experiments conducted by Avery and his colleagues were definitive, but many scientists were very reluctant to accept DNA (rather than proteins) as the genetic material. The clincher was provided in 1952 by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase with the use of the phage (virus) T2.

Answer 2

Much earlier, scientists believed that the genetic material was protein. In 1952, Hershey & Chase were the ones to conclusively prove that DNA is thegenetic material. They worked with bacteriophages – viruses that infect bacteria.

chromosomes participate in the functioning of the cell and the structure and functioning of the entire body through dna. genes are present in chromosomes and chromosomes are present in dna. thus dna acts as genetic material.
