Options
- AA - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 2
- BA - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 2
- CA - 3, B - 2, C - 4, D - 1
- DA - 1, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3
Correct answer
A. A - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 2
Step-by-step solution
A - 3: A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. B - 2: Radioactive phosphorus was used to label DNA, which was the material that entered the bacteria. C - 1: Radioactive sulfur was used to label proteins. D - 2: DNA was the genetic material that entered the bacteria and was identified as radioactive in the experiment.
