Conclusion..r bacteria gets transformed into s bacteria by some chemical component that is heritable ..called this transformation
Avery, mccarty, n macleod
Wanted to know what transforming factor was: dna rna and protein
Conclusion of aver, mccarty n macleod
Dna is "transforming factor" in these bacteria ...suggests that dna is heritable material in bacteria
Hershey and chase experiments
Studied bacteriaphage (phage)
Bacteriophage(phage)
Viruses that infect bacteria..contain a few of own genes-take over host cell and convert it into factory for making more viruses
Conclusion of hershey/chase experiment
No protein got into the bacterial cell..-phage dna got into bacterial cell=dna was passed from the phage to the bacteria-phage dna but not proteins entered the bacterial cells-dna functions as genetic material for T2 (phage)
What functions as genetic material for T2 (phage)
Dna
Erwin chagoff's contributions
Knew dna was a polymer w/ nitrogenous bases: A, T, G, C-studied amt of each base in diff species-found it was diff in each species but A=t & G=C but A+T doesnt = G+C
Chargoff's rule
Allowed watson & crick to figure out that bases paired in double helix
If 28% of the bases in a particular species are A what percentage are T? G? C?
A=28, T=28 A+T=56- G+C=44-G=22, C=22
