I am the DNA that only consists of C-G base pairs..

What is Z-DNA. 

500

I am the scientist that postulated the tetranucleotide hypothesis.

Who is Phoebus A. Levene?

What did transfection prove and how?

What is that DNA is responsible for reproduction of phage T2 during E.coli infection. This was done by adding the phages to radioactive E.coli medium and and labeling the progeny phages. Phages attack bacteria and then separate.
