Hershey and Chase used radioactive \[^{35}S\] and \[^{32}P\]in experiments to provide evidence that DNA was the genetic material. These experiments pointed to DNA because:

• A. Progeny viruses retained \[^{32}P\] but not\[^{35}S\].
• B. Retention of \[^{32}P\] in progeny viruses indicated that DNA was passed on.
• C. Loss of \[^{35}S\] in progeny viruses indicated that proteins were not passed.
• D. All of the above
