Answer: Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase are two characters from the movie Alfred Hershey and the Chocolate Factory

Radioactive phosphorus (32Cr) was used in the Hershey and Chase experiment. as well as sulphur that is radioactive 

Bacteriophages were cultured using  The bacteria were then infected with these bacteriophages. Because DNA includes phosphorous, but protein does not, the bacterial cells were found to have radioactive viral DNA but not radioactive viral protein. As a result, this experiment demonstrated that the genetic material transmitted from virus to bacterium is DNA rather than protein.
