The Search for Genetic Material

Experiments of Griffith on mice explained the phenomenon of:

Hershey and Chase performed several experiments to find the chemical nature of the genetic material that is present in all organisms. The graph below shows the results of one such experiment. It tracks the amount of ³²P and ³⁵S found in the supernatant after the bacterial cell suspension was agitated in a blender. The Y-axis represents the percentage of radioactivity from ³²P and ³⁵S each as compared to all radioactivity detected in the supernatant.

 What did Hershey and Chase want to verify using this experiment? 

DNA is the hereditary material of the cell which provides the genetic information. This fact was established by Martha Chase and Alfred Hershey individually in the year 1959.
