Hershey and Chase: DNA is the genetic material - Khan Academy
The protein shell of the virus was tagged with radioactive sulphur, and this ended up in the supernatant. The heavier bacterial cells formed the pellet, so Hershey and Chase knew that DNA was the genetic material of the virus, as the phosphorus was found there.
The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA
We had all of this evidence that DNA is the molecular basis, you have Chargaff with his rules called Chargaff's Rules, and then you have Rosalind Franklin, and she's imaging diffraction patterns from X-rays beamed into crystals of DNA.

Molecular structure of DNA - Khan Academy
DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, consists of nucleotides forming a double helix structure. Nucleotides contain a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The bases, adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, pair up through hydrogen bonds, creating the rungs of the DNA ladder.

Unit 14: DNA as the genetic material - Khan Academy
What exactly is DNA? This seemingly simple polymer, made up of just four different types of monomers, serves as the genetic material for all living organisms. For example, your DNA provides instructions for building and maintaining your unique body and …
