Why were some geneticists reluctant to accept the idea of nucleic acids as genetic material even after the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953?

A medical technician is analyzing a blood sample in a clinical lab. In determining the blood type the technician determines that the red blood cells have both A antigens present on the cell surface and B antigens present on the surface. In this case, the red blood cells are exhibiting a genetic characteristic known as:

In the fruit fly, recessive mutations in either of two independently assorting genes, brown and purple, prevent the synthesis of red pigment in the eyes. Thus, homozygotes (recessive) for either of these mutations have brownish-purple eyes. Individuals that are heterozygotes or dominant homozygotes for both of these mutations have dark red, that is, wild-type eyes. If two double heterozygotes are intercrossed, how many of each phenotype would you expect if they had 160 offspring?
