Genetics Experiments
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty | studied transformation of heat-killed S strain by destroying different elements and incubating with live R strain --> DNA transforming agent |
| Meselson-Stahl | grew E Coli with only "heavy" N, transferred to medium with only "light" N, took density measurements after 1st and 2nd generations --> proved semi-conservative model |
| Watson and Crick | proposed double helix |
| Mendel | experimented with pea plants to conclude with Mendelian inheritance laws |
| Frederick Griffith | proved that S strains could be transformed into live strains; followed by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty |
| Beadle and Tatum | studied bread mold Neurospora; led to "one gene- one enzyme" hypothesis |
| Hershey and Chase | labeled protein (radioactive sulfur) and DNA (radioactive phosphorous) in phages separately with to see which was injected --> DNA is hereditary material |
