How did Hershey and Chase's use of radiolabeled bacteriophages to study the genetic material validate Avery's research?
It demonstrated conclusively that the genetic material is not protein.
It showed that bacteriophages are not digested by bacterial enzymes.
It proved that bacteria will take up phosphorus, but not sulfur.
It confirmed that bacteriophages cannot inject radiolabeled DNA.
