Griffith, Avery, Hershey, and Chase
In 1928, Frederick Griffith was able to transform harmless bacteria into virulent pathogens with an extract that Oswald Avery proved, in 1944, to be DNA. In 1952, Martha Chase and Alfred Hershey used radioactively labeled virus DNA to infect bacteria, proving the same point.
It is not Hershey and Chase !! It is Oswald Avery that conducted these experiments!
Griffith's Discovery of Transformation Avery's Experiments with nucleic acidsHershey-Chase Experiment
In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty published a paper demonstrating that DNA was the transforming factor.Their discovery was at first met with disbelief by some scientists, who thought that only proteins could have enough complexity to hold genetic information. Also, for a while some scientists thought bacteria might have a different genetic chemistry from other organisms.Avery
Friedrich Miescher performed experiments in the lab at the University of Tubingen in 1868. He experimented with the chemical composition of leukocytes, and these experiments led to the discovery of DNA.
It is not Hershey and Chase !! It is Oswald Avery that conducted these experiments!
The first major experiment that led the discovery of DNA as the genetic material was performed by Griffith and Avery. They studied 2 strains of bacteria "Streptococcus Pneumonia, which causes pneumonia. They found that one strain could be transformed into other forms of bacteria and germs.
Alfred Hershey and Margaret Chase confirmed that DNA is a genetic material.
According to my bio book, I think it's Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, in the HERSHEY-CHASE experiment.
