1. Griffith & Transformation
![Page 6: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In the 1920’s Griffith was a biologist trying to figure out how bacteria produced pneumonia (a deadly disease).2 different stains (breeds) of
pneumonia bacteria were isolated (separated) from mice
He grew the pneumonia in the lab
![Page 7: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Griffith made two observations:
(1) The disease-causing strain of bacteria grew into smooth colonies on culture plates.
(2) The harmless strain grew into colonies with rough edges.
![Page 8: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Griffith’s ExperimentsGriffith set up four
individual experiments.
Experiment 1: Mice were injected with the disease-causing strain of bacteria. The mice developed pneumonia and died.
![Page 9: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Experiment 2: Mice were injected with the harmless strain of bacteria. These mice didn’t get sick
![Page 10: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Experiment 3: Griffith heated the disease-causing bacteria. He then injected the heat-killed bacteria into the mice. The mice survived
![Page 11: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Experiment 4: Griffith mixed his heat-killed, disease-causing bacteria with live, harmless bacteria and injected the mixture into the mice. The mice developed pneumonia and died.
![Page 12: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conclusion: the heat-killed bacteria passed their disease-causing ability to the harmless strain
![Page 13: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TRANSFORMATIONOne strain of bacteria is
changed by a gene or genes from another strain of bacteria.
![Page 14: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What was Griffith trying to learn when he set up this experiment? Discuss w/ your partner.
![Page 15: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Griffith hypothesized that something must have information that could change harmless bacteria into disease-causing ones
![Page 16: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Discuss:Who remembers getting
immunizations ? Why do people get immunizations? How do they work?
![Page 17: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ethical Question:Some people believe autism is
caused by preservatives in the vaccine. As a result some people have chosen not to immunize their children. What is your opinion?
![Page 18: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Avery and DNA
![Page 19: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In the 1940’s a scientist named Avery repeated Griffith’s experiment
The research question: what molecule in the heat-killed bacteria was the most important part of transformation. That molecule is probably a part of the gene that allows transformation to take place.
![Page 20: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The ExperimentAvery & other
scientists made a bacterial extract (juice) from the heat-killed bacteria and destroyed all of the molecules w/ enzymes
![Page 21: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The enzymes destroyed ProteinsLipidsCarbohydrates RNA
transformation still occurred, therefore those molecules are not responsible for transformation
![Page 22: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The experiment was repeated using enzymes that destroy DNA.
Transformation did not occurThey concluded that DNA stores &
transmits genetic information
![Page 23: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. The Hershey-Chase Experiment
![Page 24: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Virus- nonliving particle that is much smaller than a cell, that can infect living organisms
S.E.M. of a T4 bacteriophage virus.(Reproduced by permission ofPhoto Researchers, Inc.)
![Page 25: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bacteriophage- a type of virus that infects bacteria.Are made of a DNA or RNA core
surrounded by a protein coat
S.E.M. of bacteriophages attacking a bacterium
![Page 26: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
When bacteriophages goes inside a bacterium The virus attaches to the cell surfaceThe virus then injects its DNA or RNA
into the bacteria.The genes of the virus make the
bacterium produce more virusesThe result is the bacterium “pops” &
is destroyed & hundreds of new viruses burst out.
![Page 27: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Radioactive Markers- used to track a substance inside an organism.
Hershey & Chase were trying to figure out if genes were made of protein or DNA.They wanted to figure out which
part of the virus (the protein coat or DNA core) went inside the bacterium
![Page 28: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hershey & Chase used two radioactive markers to find outSulfur-35 (35S) tracks or marks proteinsPhosporous-32 (32P) tracks or marks
DNA.
![Page 29: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If 35S was found in the bacteria, it would mean that the viruses’ protein had been injected into the bacteria.
![Page 30: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
If 32P was found in the bacteria, then it was the DNA that had been injected.
![Page 31: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Result: Nearly all the radioactivity in the bacteria was from phosphorus (32P).
Conclusion: The genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA not protein.
![Page 32: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
4. The Components & Structure of DNA
![Page 33: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DNA is A long molecule Made of units called nucleotides The nucleotides have 3 parts:
deoxyribose, a phosphate group, & a nitrogenous base (has nitrogen in it).
![Page 34: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
There are four kinds of nitrogenous bases in DNA:
• Adenine (A)
• Guanine (G)
• Cytosine (C)
• Thymine (T)
![Page 35: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Chargaff’s Rules: A biochemist named Erwin Chargaff
studied the amount of each base in DNA.
He concluded the following: The % of Guanine (G) is always equal to
the % of Cytosine (C) The % of Adenine (A) is always equal to
the % of Thymine (T) This is the same in all organisms
![Page 36: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
X-Ray EvidenceA scientist named
Rosalind Franklin studied DNA
X-ray diffraction; a technique she used to learn about the structure of DNA
![Page 37: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Double Helix 2 scientist named
Watson & Crick studied the structure of DNA using 3-D models
They used R. Franklin’s picture & built a 3-D model out of wire & cardboard
A double helix in which 2 strands are wound around each other
![Page 38: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Pg. 292-293 Look at the timeline answer the following questions: Why did no DNA discoveries b/w the
1920’s and 50’s? Why did discovery speed up during the
1950’s?
![Page 39: Chapter 12 DNA and RNA. 12-1 DNA 1. Griffith and Transformation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d385503460f94a112fb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
They discovered that hydrogen bonds form b/w the nitrogen bases This is what holds the 2 strands together (H
bonds)Base Pairing- H bonds only form b/w
adenine (A) & thymine (T); and cytosine (C) and guanine (G)
Base Pairing explains Chargaff’s Rules
