Scientists Flashcards
Separated DNA into compounds, paired A&T and G&C, composition of DNA varies.
Used mercury salts
Chargaff Experiement
Used x Ray derefractions, showed 1st crystalline symmetrical DNA patterns; building model of double helix
Wilkins and franklin experiment
Used mice, injected S bacteria, mouse lived when DNA was destroyed; genes are made of DNA
Oswald Avery and associates
Supported that DNA is the genetic material in cells, tested on proteins, bacteriophages grown in radioactive sulfur
Hershey chase
Originally wanted to develop pneumonia vaccine, injected mice with different strains, R strain took up property from heat killed s strain, supported that bacteria can change through transformation
Frederick Griffith
Grew E. Coil in heavy nitrogen, supports DNA replication has one old strand abd one new
Meselson and stahl
