Many believed that proteins did as they looked far more complex than DNA.The bacteriophages also demonstrated that when they infect a bacterium with their genes. The DNA will come out but very little protein will. It would later become known as the blender experiment for the use of a blender to empty viral protein shells from the bacterial surface. …show more content…
It would go on to disprove more theories about proteins and their influence on the cell. This experiment would later go on to earn Hershey a Nobel Peace Prize in viral genetics. After proving our genetics were housed in our DNA, advances on DNA could start. These advances and research into our genome could lead us to cures for cancers. It could change proteins by changing the code that will make them. Eventually we could prevent nearly any disease by changing the genome inside the Mother’s womb. While the baby is still being formed and nothing is for
