Avery and his colleagues showed that DNA was the key component of Griffith's experiment, in which mice are injected with dead bacteria of one strain and live bacteria of another, and develop an infection of the dead strain's type.
Observation of Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod Experiment The culture treated with DNase did not yield transformed type III S strain bacteria which indicated that DNA was the hereditary material responsible for …
How did the results of the Hershey-Chase experiment strengthen Avery's conclusions? Hershey and Chase studied bacteriophages which are viruses that attack bacteria. In their …
Avery, MacLeod and McCarty identified DNA as the "transforming principle" while studying Streptococcus pneumoniae, bacteria that can cause pneumonia.
While Griffith’s experiment had provided a surprising result, it wasn’t clear as to what component of the dead S strain bacteria were responsible for the transformation. 16 years later, in 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin Macleod …
