Hershey and Chase confirmed that DNA, and not protein, is the hereditary material.

8.1 Identifying DNA as the Genetic Material

8.1 Identifying DNA as the Genetic Material What did early scientist believe was the genetic material? Why?

Proteins because they were more complex and not DNA because they were TOO simple!

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment:

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment: Live S bacteria – killed mice

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment: Live S bacteria – killed mice Live R bacteria – mice lived

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment: Live S bacteria – killed mice Live R bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria – mice lived

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment: Live S bacteria – killed mice Live R bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria + R bacteria = killed mice

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment: Live S bacteria – killed mice Live R bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria + R bacteria = killed mice That some material must have been transferred from the heat- killed S bacteria to the live R bacteria!

Experiments Results (Conclusion) Griffith’s experiment: Live S bacteria – killed mice Live R bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria – mice lived Heat-killed S bacteria + R bacteria = killed mice That some material must have been transferred from the heat- killed S bacteria to the live R bacteria! He called the “mystery” material the “Transforming Principle.”

Avery’s experiment:

Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria.

Avery’s experiment: Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria. Their findings:

Avery’s experiment: Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria. Their findings:  Protein extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)

Avery’s experiment: Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria. Their findings:  Protein extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  RNA extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)

Avery’s experiment: Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria. Their findings:  Protein extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  RNA extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  DNA extract + enzymes = transformation failed to occur!! (Lived)

Avery’s experiment: Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria. Their findings:  Protein extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  RNA extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  DNA extract + enzymes = transformation failed to occur!! (Lived) Because the enzymes broke down the protein, RNA, and DNA, and that only when the DNA was broke down with the enzymes did the mice survive (Lived)

Avery’s experiment: Took extracts from S bacteria and combined them with R bacteria. Their findings:  Protein extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  RNA extract + enzymes = transformation still occurred! (Death)  DNA extract + enzymes = transformation failed to occur!! (Lived) Because the enzymes broke down the protein, RNA, and DNA, and that only when the DNA was broke down with the enzymes did the mice survive (Lived); therefore, the DNA must be the transforming principle, or GENETIC MATERIAL!

Hershey & Chase’s experiments:

Used bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) because they were very simple (contained only DNA surrounded by a protein coat).

Hershey & Chase’s experiments: Used bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) because they were very simple (contained only DNA surrounded by a protein coat). Proteins contain sulfur (S) and DNA contains phosphorus (P).

Hershey & Chase’s experiments: Used bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) because they were very simple (contained only DNA surrounded by a protein coat). Proteins contain sulfur (S) and DNA contains phosphorus (P). Experiment 1: they “tagged” bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and infected bacteria = NO sulfur was found in the bacteria!

Proteins contain sulfur (S) and DNA contains phosphorus (P). Experiment 1: they “tagged” bacteriophage with radioactive sulfur and infected bacteria = NO sulfur was found in the bacteria! Experiment 2: they “tagged” bacteriophage with radioactive phosphorus and infected bacteria = phosphorus was found in the bacteria!!!

Experiment 2: they “tagged” bacteriophage with radioactive phosphorus and infected bacteria = phosphorus was found in the bacteria!!! Concluded that the bacteriophages’ DNA had entered the bacteria, but the protein had not!

Concluded that the bacteriophages’ DNA had entered the bacteria, but the protein had not! Their findings convinced scientists that the genetic material is DNA and not proteins!!

What was “transformed” in Griffith’s experiment?

Harmless R bacteria were transformed into pathogenic (diseases causing) S bacteria!

Why was the bacteriophage an excellent choice for research to determine whether genes are made of DNA or proteins?

Because bacteriophages are merely made up of a DNA molecule surrounded by a protein coat!
