German Fraenkel
Extract the RNA and protein of the virus individually.
Put them into the surface of the healthy leaves.
RNA caused the disease.
While protein can not.
Conclusion: Genetic material is RNA not protein.

But where is the “genetic factor”?

Founder of modern genetics: Thomas Hunt Morgan
Tied genetic factor (gene) with chromosomes.
Sexual linkage by drosophila is regarded as the third discover in genetics because it brings together a specific gene and chromosomes.
If 2 genes are near in the same chromosome, maybe linked heredity.
If far, maybe exchanged-heredity.
Opportunity for exchange can be viewed as the distance of 2 genes

Nature
1. Genetic code is a triplet code
(three nucleotide encode one amino acid)
The way in which the nucleotide sequence in nucleic acids specifies the amino acid sequence in proteins.
The triplet codons are nonoverlapping and comma-less.

2. Genetic code is degenerate :
Only 20 amino acids are encoded by 4 nucleotides in triplet codons (43 =64 of amino acids could potentially be encoded). Therefore, more than one triplet are used to specify a amino acids, and the genetic code is said to be degenerate, or to have redundancy.

Features
Synonymous codons: 18 out of 20 amino acids have more than one codon
to specify them, causing the redundancy of the genetic code.

pyrimidine ----synonymous (all cases)
purine ----synonymous (most cases)
the second position:
pyrimidine ----hydrophobic amino acids

Effect of Mutation
1. Transition: the most common mutation in nature
changes from purine to purine, or pymidine to pymidine
At third position: no effect except for Met Ile; Trp stopsecond position: results in similar chemical
type of amino acids.
![Page 30: Section 3: Molecular Biology](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/56815006550346895dbdd964/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2. Transversions: purine pymidine At third position: over half have no
effect and result in a similar type of amino acid. (Example: Asp Glu)
At second position: change the type of amino acid.
![Page 31: Section 3: Molecular Biology](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/56815006550346895dbdd964/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
In the first position, mutation (both transition and transvertion) specify a similar type of amino acid, and in a few cases it is the same amino acid.

ORFs
Open reading frames (ORFs) are suspected coding regions starting with ATG and end with TGA,TAA or TAG identified by computer.
When the ORF is known to encode a certain protein, it is usually referred as a coding region.

Processing of RNA
Only the mature RNA could be translated.
The precursor of mRNA is called heterogeneous nuclear RNA, (hnRNA), which needs be processed.
