Hershey and Chase experiment

Featured Replies

Hello!

I have some questions regarding Hershey and Chase experiment:

1.- What do you reckon Al Hershey and Martha Chase would have seen in their analyses instead if they had forgotten to turn on the kitchen blender?

 

2.-Would they have been as successful if they had used radioactive carbon and radioactive hydrogen for the labeling instead?

 

3.-Why do you think that scientists found the Hershey-Chase experiment more convincing than Oswald Avery's experiment as proof that DNA carried the genetic information?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers!
