Hershey and Chase discovered that viruses use DNA to transfer information. In their famous experiment with the T2 bacteriophage, they demonstrated that when the virus infects a bacterium, it is the DNA from the virus that enters the host cell and carries the genetic information necessary for the production of new viruses. Their findings provided strong evidence that DNA, not protein, is the hereditary material in living organisms.
What did Hershey and Chase discover about viruses after their experiments? Viruses do not transfer any information. Viruses only use proteins to transfer information. Viruses use DNA to transfer information.
