    The false statement is d Avery, Macleod and McCarty showed that DNA is the genetic information of cells and RNA is the genetic information in the viruses.

    Explanation:

    Avery, Macleod and MacCarty showed that DNA is the genetic material of the cell.

    On the other hand Fraenkel, Conrat and Sanger carried out their experiment on tobacco mosaic virus to prove that RNA act as genetic material in some viruses.
