To determine whether DNA
or proteins are the genetic
material
Used bacteriophages
cultured in radioactively
marked sulfur and
phosphorus to infect cells,
then used centrifugation to
separate out the isotopes
in the cells
The cells contained marked
phosphate, but not sulfur,
meaning that DNA is the
genetic material
