Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA Unit Two

  2. HISTORICAL DNA EXPERIMENTS

  3. FREDRICK GRIFFITH (1928) • Transforming principal of DNA • Bacteria are capable of passing genetic information to other bacteria

  4. PHEOBUS LEVENE (1929) • Characterized different forms of nucleic acids: DNA and RNA • Determined nucleic acids are made of: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)

  5. OSWALD AVERY (1944) • Determined that DNA is the material in which genes and chromosomes are made.

  6. Hershey-Chase Experiment (1952) • Proteins were not the genetic material, DNA was

  7. ROSALAND FRANKLIN (1951-1953) • Research found picture of DNA • X-ray crystallography • Excluded from large discovery

  8. WATSON AND CRICK (1953) • Discovered the “double helix” structure of DNA • Published paper without mentioning Rosalind Franklin (CONTROVERSY)

  9. ERWIN CHARGAFF (1959) • Discovered three rules about DNA: • # of guanine equals # of cytosine • # of adenine equals # of thymine • # of A, T, C, G varies among species

  10. Backbone (EDGES) • Deoxyribose sugar • Phosphate group

  11. NITROGENOUS BASES (MIDDLE) Guanine Thymine Cytosine Adenine
