Hershey and Chase conducted experiments using radioactive isotopes to label DNA and protein in separate bacteriophage cultures and track if each molecule was transferred into infected cells with the genetic material of the phage.  Upon removal of bacteriophage coats from infected bacterial cells, where was the label for the DNA? What isoptope was used to label the DNA?
