In this unit you learned about the Hershey and Chase experiment that showed that DNA is the genetic material of bacteriophage viruses, which was fairly simple given that viruses only have DNA and protein components. Describe an experiment you could perform or evidence you could observe that would prove that DNA is the genetic material that results in inheritance of traits (through gene expression) in a multicellular animal. (NOTE: do not describe the Hershey and Chase experiment or the Griffith experiment in your answer)
