Experiments
The element that is found in protein but not in DNA
Sulfur
Griffith, the bacteriologist, did his experiment on this bacteria.
Streptococcus pneumonia.
The chromosomes are found inside the ---
nucleus
S strain + live mice =
dead mice
The element that is found in DNA and not in the protein
phosphorus
This scientist discovered transformation.
Fredrick Griffith.
The chromosome is made up of --------- & ---------
DNA & protein
R strain + live mice =
live mice
This researcher, along with co-workers, discovered that DNA is responsible for transformation.
Avery.
The structure of the bacteriophage is made up of ------------- & --------------
DNA & protein
Heated S strain + live mice =
Live mice
A substance that has the ability to cause disease is said to be this.
virulent.
This change that is caused when foreign genetic material is taken up by a cell.
Transformation.
R strain + Heated S strain + live mice =
Dead mice
What are the other molecules that Avery & his colleagues examined?
DNA
protein
lipids
RNA
The bacterial strain that causes pneumonia disease.
Smooth strain
These two scientists discovered that DNA is the hereditary material by examining radioactive E. coli and bacteriophages .
Hershey and Chase.
What are the two factors that led Hershey & Chase to choose the bacteriophage for their experiments
1. It is made of DNA & protein
2. It cannot replicate itself
Why did Hershey & Chase use radioactive labeling technique?
to trace the genetic material
