Griffith’s Experiment with Pneumonia and the accidental discovery of Transformation• Frederick Griffiths was a
bacteriologist studying pneumonia
• He discovered two types of bacteria:– Smooth colonies– Rough colonies
CONCLUSION:
The smooth colonies must carry
the disease!
![Page 13: Starter for 10](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062722/568138ca550346895da08493/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Griffith’s Experiment with Pneumonia and the accidental discovery of Transformation
• When heat was applied to the deadly smooth type…
• And injected into a mouse…
• The mouse lived!

• Griffith injected the heat-killed type and the non-deadly rough type of bacteria.
• The bacteria “transformed” itself from the heated non-deadly type to the deadly type.

Griffith’s Experiment did not prove that DNA was responsible for transformation
How would you design an experiment to prove that DNA
was responsible for transformation?

The Hershey-Chase results reinforced the Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod conclusion:
DNA carries the genetic code!
However, there were still important details to
uncover…

The Race to Discover DNA’s Structure was Over
• DNA is made up of:– Four nucleotides: Adenine, Thymine,
Guanine and Cytosine– These follow the rules of base-pairing:
• Adenine bonds with Thymine• Guanine bonds with Cytosine
– A sugar-phosphate backbone
• DNA is arranged in an double-helix
