Would an experiment similar to that performed by Hershey and Chase work if the basic design were applied to the phenomenon of transformation? Explain why or why not.

HINT: This problem involves an understanding of the protocol of the Hershey—Chase experiment as applied to the investigation of transformation. The key to its solution is to remember that in trans-formation, exogenous DNA enters the soon-to-be transformed cell and that no cell-to-cell contact is involved in the process.
