DNA/RNA Flashcards
-FATHER OF GENETICS
-DESCRIBED UNITS OF HEREDITY WHICH ARE CALLED GENES
GREGOR MENDEL
IDENTIFIED “NUCLEIN” BY ISOLATING A MOLECULE FROM A CELL NUCLEUS THAT WOULD LATER BE KNOWN AS DNA
FRIEDRICH MIESCHER
Credited with naming DNA, identified nuclein as a nucleic acid. He isolated the five nitrogen bases.
Albrecht Kossel
He discovered Mitosis cell division
Walther Flemming
He outlined DNA as the transforming principle which means DNA has the genetic material.
Oswald Avery
He discovered the “Chargaff’s Rule” and concluded that DNA varies among organisms.
Erwin Chargaff
She discovered jumping genes that earned her the Nobel Prize in Physiology.
Barbara Mcclintock
She took X-ray diffraction photographs of DNA that showed its size and shape.
Rosalind Franklin
They published the DNA’s
double helix structure that twists to form the ladder-like structure we think of when we picture DNA.
James Watson and Francis Crick
