Avery's experiment, conducted in the early 1940s, revealed that DNA is the molecule responsible for carrying genetic information. By isolating and purifying the transforming principle from heat-killed pathogenic bacteria, he demonstrated that DNA could transform non-pathogenic bacteria into pathogenic forms. This groundbreaking work provided critical evidence that DNA, rather than proteins or RNA, serves as the genetic material in living organisms.
