Griffith and Transformation
Griffith and Transformation
In 1928, British scientist Fredrick Griffith was trying to learn how certain types of bacteria caused pneumonia.
He isolated two different strains of pneumonia bacteria from mice and grew them in his lab.

The Hershey-Chase Experiment
The Hershey-Chase Experiment
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase studied viruses—nonliving particles smaller than a cell that can infect living organisms.

Bacteriophages
A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage.
Bacteriophages are composed of a DNA or RNA core and a protein coat.

The Hershey-Chase Experiment
When a bacteriophage enters a bacterium, the virus attaches to the surface of the cell and injects its genetic information into it.
The viral genes produce many new bacteriophages, which eventually destroy the bacterium.
When the cell splits open, hundreds of new viruses burst out.

The Components and Structure of DNA
The Components and Structure of DNA
DNA is made up of nucleotides.
A nucleotide is a monomer of nucleic acids made up of 3 parts
1. five-carbon sugar called deoxyribose
2. a phosphate group
3. and a nitrogenous base.

There are four kinds of bases in in DNA:
• adenine
• guanine
• cytosine
• thymine

The Components and Structure of DNA
The backbone of a DNA chain is formed by sugar and phosphate groups of each nucleotide.
The nucleotides can be joined together in any order.

Chargaff's Rules
Erwin Chargaff discovered that:
• The percentages of guanine [G] and cytosine [C] bases are almost equal in any sample of DNA.
• The percentages of adenine [A] and thymine [T] bases are almost equal in any sample of DNA.

The Components and Structure of DNA
X-Ray Evidence
Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to get information about the structure of DNA.
She aimed an X-ray beam at concentrated DNA samples and recorded the scattering pattern of the X-rays on film.

The Components and Structure of DNA
The Double Helix
Using clues from Franklin’s pattern, James Watson and Francis Crick built a model that explained how DNA carried information and could be copied.
Watson and Crick's model of DNA was a double helix, in which two strands were wound around each other.

The Components and Structure of DNA
Watson and Crick discovered that hydrogen bonds can form only between certain base pairs—adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine.
This principle is called base pairing.
