Transcript
Proteins is NOT the Genetic Material...
(Hershey and Chase, 1952)
A bacteriophage (or, phage) is a type of virus that
only infects bacteria.
They have a protein coat and a piece of DNA
inside.
They adhere to the surface of the bacteria and
inject their DNA into the bacteria.
Their DNA codes for the assembly of more phages
after their DNA is incorporated into the bacterial
chromosome.
Hershey and Chase Experiments
35
S-labelled phages (radioactivity incorporated into
the protein of phage only, which contains S)
infected bacteria are not radioactive (no 35S)
32
P-labelled phages (radioactivity incorporated into
the DNA of phage only, which contains P)
infected bacteria are radioactive (contain 32P)
Conclusion:
Viral DNA is transferred to the bacteria from the
virus (phage), which results in the production of
more viruses. DNA is the code, or genetic
material, for the virus.
