Q

discovered genes=particles of inheritance

A

gregor mendel

14
Q

Alfred Hershey & Martha Chase

A

showed DNA, not protein, is genetic material of bacteriophage (T2)

15
Q

watson & crick (x2)

A

deduced DNA as double helix

each base pair is complementary & forms different # H-bonds (A-T=2, G-C=3)
