Question:
The correct depiction of the centrifugation step of the experiment conducted by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase on using radioactive labelled phages to prove that DNA is the genetic material is :
Options are complex table structures. Option (A) is the biologically correct outcome for the test.
No Radioactive ($^{35} ext{S}$) detected in cells + Radioactive ($^{35} ext{S}$) detected in supernatant AND Radioactive ($^{32} ext{P}$) detected in cells + No Radioactivity detected in supernatant
- A. Cells ($^{35}$S): No Radioactivity; Supernatant ($^{35}$S): Radioactivity. AND Cells ($^{32}$P): Radioactivity; Supernatant ($^{32}$P): No Radioactivity
- B. Radioactive ($^{35}$S) detected in cells + Radioactive ($^{35}$S) detected in supernatant AND No Radioactive ($^{32}$P) detected in cells + No Radioactivity detected in supernatant
- C. No Radioactive ($^{35}$S) detected in cells + No Radioactivity detected in supernatant AND Radioactive ($^{32}$P) detected in cells + Radioactive ($^{35}$S) detected in supernatant
- D. Radioactive ($^{35}$S) detected in cells + No Radioactivity detected in supernatant AND No Radioactive ($^{32}$P) detected in cells + Radioactive ($^{35}$S) detected in supernatant
