A group of scientists is investigating the molecular basis of heredity in fungi. They use a fungal virus and conduct an experiment similar to the Hershey-Chase experiment. They label the DNA of the virus with a radioactive isotope of phosphorus (³²P) and the capsid with a radioactive isotope of sulfur (³⁵S). After the virus infects the fungal cells, where should they expect to find the ³²P if DNA is the hereditary material?

• A. Inside the fungal cells
• B. Only in the viral capsids outside the fungal cells
• C. Equally distributed between the inside and outside of the fungal cells
• D. In the surrounding medium, not associated with cells or capsids
