Formative Assessment on Scientists and the History of DNA
1. Stated the Chromosome Theory of Inheritance by observing
how traits were passed to the offspring using grasshopper
sperm.
2. Using mutated bread mold they stated that One-Gene codes
for One-Enzyme.
3. Hypothesized in 1952 that protein was the transforming agent in
Griffith’s experiment. Used Sulfur and Phosphorus “markers”
and discovered that DNA was injected into bacteria. Ultimately
concluding that DNA was the transforming agent, not the
protein coat. This confirmed what Avery discovered earlier.
4. Took pictures of and studied the DNA molecule using X-ray
diffraction.
5. Investigated the pus (white blood cells) from bandages in
hospitals to observe nucleic acids.
6. Injected mice with harmless and deadly strains of Pneumonia.
Concluded that “something” in harmful bacteria was being
transferred to make the harmless strains deadly, called this the
theory of transformation.
A. Wilkins and Franklin
B. Beadle and Tatum
C. Chargaff
D. Miescher
E. Walter Sutton
F. Thomas Hunt Morgan
G. Oswald Avery
H. Hershey and Chase
I. Griffith
J. Watson and Crick
7. Stated that the percent of adenine = thymine and cytosine =
guanine.
8. In 1944 found that DNA is the transforming factor in Griffith’s
experiment.
9. Determined, through studying the experiments of others and
viewing the X-ray diffraction picture, that DNA was in the shape
of a double helix.
10. This scientist tracked mutations in fruit flies and determined
that some traits are linked together.
Discuss the controversy that unfolded between Rosalind Franklin and Watson & Crick in regards to
the building of the first correct DNA model.
