Genes are on chromosomes
T.H. Morgan
working with Drosophila(fruit flies)
genes are on chromosomes
but is it the protein or the DNA of the chromosomes that are the genes? through 1940 proteins
were thought to be genetic material… Why?
1908 | 1933
What’s so impressiveabout proteins?!

The “Transforming Factor” 1928
Frederick Griffith
Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria was working to find cure for
pneumonia
harmless live bacteria mixed with heat-killed infectious bacteria causes disease in mice
substance passed from dead bacteria to live bacteria = “Transforming Factor”

AP Biology 2005-2006
The “Transforming Factor”
Transformation?
something in heat-killed bacteria could still transmit
disease-causing properties
live pathogenicstrain of bacteria
live non-pathogenicstrain of bacteria
mice die mice live
heat-killed pathogenic bacteria
mix heat-killed pathogenic & non-pathogenicbacteria
mice live mice die

DNA is the “Transforming Factor”
Avery, McCarty & MacLeod
purified both DNA & proteins from
Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria
which will transform non-pathogenic bacteria?
injected protein into bacteria
no effect
injected DNA into bacteria
transformed harmless bacteria
into virulent bacteria
1944
What’s theconclusion?

Confirmation of DNA
Hershey & Chase

worked with bacteriophage
viruses that infect bacteria
grew phage viruses in 2 media,
radioactively labeled with either
35S in their proteins
32P in their DNA
infected bacteria with
labeled phages

Blender experiment
Radioactive phage & bacteria in blender
35S phage
radioactive proteins stayed in supernatant
therefore protein did NOT enter bacteria
32P phage
radioactive DNA stayed in pellet
therefore DNA did enter bacteria
Confirmed DNA is “transforming factor”

immediately suggests a possible copying

AP Biology
Editing & proofreading DNA
1000 bases/second =
lots of typos!
DNA polymerase I
proofreads & corrects
typos
repairs mismatched bases
excises abnormal bases
repairs damage
throughout life
reduces error rate from
1 in 10,000 to
1 in 100 million bases

AP Biology
Fast & accurate!
It takes E. coli <1 hour to copy
5 million base pairs in its single
chromosome
divide to form 2 identical daughter cells
Human cell copies its 6 billion bases &
divide into daughter cells in only few
hours
remarkably accurate
only ~1 error per 100 million bases
~30 errors per cell cycle
