Answer:

<h2>Hershey and Chase conducted a series of experiments in order to prove that DNA is the genetic material.</h2>

Explanation:

In this experiment, sulphur-35 and phosphorous-32 were used to radioactively label protein and DNA respectively. The bacteriophage (viruses that infects the bacteria) were allowed to infect the <em>E. coli </em>and it was found that bacterial pellets contains P-32 in their DNA and not S-35. This indicates suphur is not found in DNA, it is present in protein. This experiments proves that DNA is the genetic material and not protein.

So, the correct option is A.

Tanya [424]

For example:  GGATACCTAGGTAAT

Insertion: GGAT<u>G</u>ACCTAGGTAAT

a nucleotide that was not present before is inserted into the original sequence

Substitution: <u>C</u>GATACCTAGGTAAT

the first nucleotide was substituted in for another (C for G)

Frameshift (basically a insertion or deletion, we'll try deletion here): GATACCTAGGTAAT

the first nucleotide was deleted, causing the reading frame to be shifted (instead of GGA as the first codon, we have GAT)
