Answer 1

The Hershey-Chase experiments that were done in 1952 confirmed that DNA indeed is the genetic material. Conducted by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, the said experiments were done on bacteriophages which means viruses that attack bacteria. The virus that they used were composed of protein on the outside and DNA on the inside, They found out that once the virus attaches itself to its host bacteria, it began injecting substances, which is the DNA, that resulted into the production of more and more of the said virus which only means that the virus spread its genetic material which is the DNA.
