8.1 Identifying DNA as the Genetic Material
KEY CONCEPT DNA was identified as the genetic material through a series of experiments.

8.1 Identifying DNA as the Genetic Material
Frederick Griffith 1928 finds a ‘transforming principle.’
• Griffith experimented with the bacteria that cause pneumonia.
• He used two forms: the S form (deadly) and the R form (not deadly).
• A transforming material passed from dead S bacteria to live R bacteria, making them deadly.

8.1 Identifying DNA as the Genetic Material
Charles Avery, 1944, identified DNA as the transforming principle. • Avery isolated and purified Griffith’s transforming
principle.• Avery performed three tests on the transforming
principle.– Qualitative tests showed DNA was present.– Chemical tests showed
the chemical makeupmatched that of DNA.
– Enzyme tests showedonly DNA-degradingenzymes stoppedtransformation.

8.1 Identifying DNA as the Genetic Material
Hershey and Chase,1952, confirm that DNA is the genetic material.
• Hershey and Chase studied viruses that infect bacteria, or bacteriophages.
• Tagged DNA was found inside the bacteria; tagged proteins were not.
– They tagged viral DNA with radioactive phosphorus.– They tagged viral proteins with radioactive sulfur.
