DNA or Protein?DNA or Protein? 1903, Walter Sutton noted the parallelism
between chromosome behavior and Mendel's laws, thus identifying genes with chromosomes and marking the beginning of genetics as a science
However, scientists were However, scientists were NOTNOT sure which one sure which one (protein or DNA) was (protein or DNA) was the the actual genetic material of actual genetic material of the cellthe cell

DNA!DNA! Frederick GriffithFrederick Griffith in 1928 in 1928
discovered what he called a transforming principle, which led to the direct discovery of how DNA works and the beginning of Molecular
Genetics.

DNA!DNA! It wasn't until 1944 that
Griffith's "transforming principle" was identified as DNA by Oswald Theodore Avery, along with coworkers Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty
• Protein was finally excluded as the hereditary material following a series of experiments published by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase in 1952. These experiments involved the T2 bacteriophage, a virus that infects the E. coli bacterium.

DNA!DNA!• Rosalind Franklin recorded a x-ray
photograph of a DNA molecule that another researcher at King's College, Maurice Wilkins, showed to James Watson and Francis Crick without her knowledge or permission. This image helped Watson and Crick construct a model of DNA, which enabled them to fully understand the molecule's structure.

• Watson and Crick constructed a model of DNA, which enabled them to fully understand the molecule's structure. Wilkins, Crick and Watson were awarded a Nobel Prize jointly, some years later, after Franklin's death.
• proposed the double helix or spiral staircase structure of the DNA molecule in 1953

nucleotidesnucleotides DNA nucleotides are composed DNA nucleotides are composed
of a:of a:1.1. phosphatephosphate, ,
2.2. deoxyribose deoxyribose sugar, and sugar, and
3.3. nitrogen-containing basenitrogen-containing base The 4 bases in DNA are: The 4 bases in DNA are: adenine adenine
(A), (A), thymine (T),thymine (T), guanine (G),guanine (G), and cytosine (C)and cytosine (C)

Overview of Overview of TranscriptionTranscription
During During transcriptiontranscription in the in the nucleus, a segment of DNA nucleus, a segment of DNA unwinds and unzips, and the unwinds and unzips, and the DNA DNA serves as aserves as a template for template for mRNA formationmRNA formation
RNA polymeraseRNA polymerase joins the RNA joins the RNA nucleotides so that the nucleotides so that the codons codons in mRNA are complementaryin mRNA are complementary to to the triplet code in DNAthe triplet code in DNA

Steps in Steps in TranscriptionTranscription
The transfer of information in the The transfer of information in the nucleusnucleus from a from a DNADNA molecule to an molecule to an RNARNA molecule molecule
Only 1 Only 1 DNADNA strand serves as the strand serves as the templatetemplate
