27
Q

Mendel

A

Laws of Inheritance

28
Q

de Vries, Correns and von Tschermak

A

independently rediscovered Mendel’s results on the inheritance of
characters

29
Q

Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri

A

argued that the pairing and separation of a
pair of chromosomes would lead to the segregation of a pair of
factors they carried.

30
Q

Walter Sutton

A

chromosomal theory of inheritance

31
Q

Thomas Hunt Morgan

A
  • experimental verification of
    the chromosomal theory of inheritance
  • linkage and recombination
32
Q

Alfred Sturtevant

A

used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes and ‘mapped’ their position on the chromosome

33
Q

Henking

A

X Body or x chromosome

34
Q

Friedrich Meischer

A

first identified DNA as an acidic substance present in nucleus

35
Q

Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin

A

X-ray diffraction data

36
Q

James Watson and Francis Crick

A

Double Helix model for the structure
of DNA

37
Q

Erwin Chargaff

A

the ratios between Adenine and Thymine and Guanine and Cytosine
are constant and equals one.

38
Q

Francis Crick

A

the Central dogma in molecular
biology
postulated the presence of an adapter molecule

39
Q

Frederick Griffith

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae; transforming principle

40
Q

Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty

A

Biochemical nature or characterisation of transforming principle

41
Q

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase

A

The unequivocal proof that DNA is the genetic material came

42
Q

Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl

A

E. coli; the DNA in chromosomes also replicate semiconservatively.

43
Q

George Gamow

A

He suggested that in order to code for all the 20 amino acids, the code should
be made up of three nucleotides

44
Q

Har Gobind Khorana

A

synthesising RNA molecules with defined combinations
of bases (homopolymers and copolymers)

45
Q

Marshall Nirenberg

A

cell-free system for protein synthesis finally helped the code to be deciphered

46
Q

Francois Jacob and Jacque Monod

A

lac operon

47
Q

Frederick Sanger

A

He developed a method in which the DNA fragments were sequenced using automated DNA sequencers that
worked on the principle of that method

Sanger is also credited for developing method for
determination of amino acid
sequences in proteins

48
Q

Alec Jeffreys

A

The technique of DNA Fingerprinting

49
Q

Oparin and Haldane

A

proposed that the first form
of life could have come from pre-existing non-living organic molecules

50
Q

Charles Darwin

A

concluded that existing living forms share
similarities to varying degrees not only among themselves but also with
life forms that existed millions of years ago

Natural selection

Branching descent

51
Q

Alfred Wallace

A

Natural selection similar to darwin

54
Q

Ernst Heckel

A

Embryological support for evolution

54
Q

Karl Ernst von Baer

A

Disproved Embryological support for evolution.

He noted
that embryos never pass through the adult stages of other animals.

55
Q

Lamarck

A

Even before Darwin, said that evolution of life forms had occurred but driven by use and disuse of organs

56
Q

Thomas Malthus

A

work on population

57
Q

Hugo deVries

A

brought forth the idea of mutations – large difference arising suddenly in
a population

58
Q

Stanley Cohen and
Herbert Boyer

A

The construction of the first recombinant
DNA
