Hershey and Chase proved DNA as the genetic material in their experiment because :

1. Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins were not radioactive.
2. Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA were radioactive.
3. Both 1 and 2 are correct.
4. Both 1 and 2 are incorrect.

Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty used DNase in their experiment because:

1. It enabled them to isolate pure DNA samples.
2. It enabled them to isolate pure protein samples.
3. This allowed them to demonstrate that removing the DNA prevents transformation.
4. It made sure that RNA will always be present when they attempted to transform the R strain.
