Question

. Which of the following inheritance patterns was observed, in the experiments of Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, using the T2 bacteriophage of Escherichia coli?

radioactive proteins were passed on to viral progeny, but not radioactive polynucleotides
radioactive polynucleotides were passed on to viral progeny, but not radioactive proteins
both radioactive proteins and radioactive polynucleotides were passed on to viral progeny
both radioactive polynucleotides and radioactive proteins were passed on to viral progeny
neither radioactive proteins nor radioactive polynucleotides were passed on to viral progeny

The Hershey / Chase experiments (above) demonstrated that the T2 bacteriophage uses:

phosphate-containing molecules for its genetic material, but not sulfur-containing molecules
sulfur-containing molecules for its genetic material, but not phosphate-containing molecules
both phosphate-containing and sulfur-containing molecules for its genetic material
both sulfur-containing and phosphate-containing molecules for its genetic material
neither phosphate-containing nor sulfur-containing molecules for its genetic material
