Proof of DNA as Genetic Material
• Was the genetic material protein or DNA?
• Mendel (peas) and Morgan (flies) did not know it was DNA. Worksheet links
• Bozeman Biology: DNA and RNA Part I Bozeman Biology: DNA and RNA Part II

Frederick Griffith
• A medical officer was trying to find a vaccine against pneumococcus
![Page 4: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Rough and Smooth Pneumococcus

Griffith 1920’s
• Streptococcus pneumoniae used to show a “transforming factor”
![Page 6: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Griffith’s Conclusion
• Some material in the heat-killed S strain that was responsible for “transforming” the R-strain into a lethal form
• transformation = passing the inheritance factor from one organism to another
• THIS TRANSFORMING FACTOR WAS LATER FOUND TO BE DNA
![Page 7: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Oswald Avery 1944
He had reported that DNA, not protein (which was believed at the time), was the hereditary substance (transforming material).
Studied medical research
![Page 8: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Oswald Avery 1940’s
![Page 9: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Avery’s Conclusion
• Removed DNA, RNA, protein from S-strain pneumococcus
• AVERY PROVED THAT DNA WAS THE TRANSFORMING MATERIAL
![Page 10: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Alfred Hershey and Margaret Chase 1953
• Showed that the hereditary material in bacteriophage viruses is DNA.

• CONCLUSION –
• DNA is genetic material because (32P) nucleic acid not (35S) protein guides viral replication

Virus: Are they Alive?
• Viruses can only replicate in a living host.
• "Viruses straddle the definition of life. They lie somewhere between supra molecular complexes and very simple biological entities. Viruses contain some of the structures and exhibit some of the activities that are common to organic life, but they are missing many of the others.”
• Dr. Mark Young of MSU youtube (4:00)

Question:
• If there is 30% Adenine, how much Cytosine is present?
• HINT: A –T and C - G
![Page 44: FINDING DNA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103101/568140b5550346895dac7843/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Answer:
• There would be 20% Cytosine.
Adenine (30%) = Thymine (30%)
Guanine (20%) = Cytosine (20%)
Total of 100%

The Scandal
• Watson used her pictures(Photo 51) to determine that DNA spirals into a double helix.

• Little did Rosalind Franklin know that her laboratory colleague, Maurice Wilkins, was in the next room revealing months of her work to her competitor!

Rosalind Franklin
• Died of ovarian cancer at age 38 and so could not share in the Nobel Prize
• Her work did lead the way to work on viruses

• She was not included in the publication that reported the structure of DNA and she died before the Nobel Prize was given to Watson and Crick.

Nobel Prize
• In 1962 James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology for their determination in 1953 of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Violation of the
Scientists' Code of Honor
• It is necessary for scientists to share information with one another, for if they did not, science and knowledge would not develop and grow. However, the tacit agreement among scientists who use or borrow one another's findings is that proper credit must be given to the author or originator of the work.

Beadle and Tatum’s Experiment• used X rays to cause mutations in
strains of the mold Neurospora (a bread mold)
• were able to create single gene mutations that incapacitated specific enzymes

Happy DNA DAY
The day commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003, and the discovery of DNA's double helix. DNA Song
