1902: Boveri–Sutton Chromosome Theory
BoveriCorrect number of chromosomes must be present for normal embryonic development
SuttonMatched pairs of paternal and maternal chromosomes separate during meiosis
“May constitute the physical basis of the Mendelian law of heredity”.

“The crude extract (type III) is full of capsular
polysaccharide,” Avery wrote to his brother Roy in 1943, “
C (somatic) carbohydrate, nucleoproteins, free nucleic
acids of both the yeast [RNA] and thymus [DNA] types,
lipids and other cell constituents.
Try to find in that complex mixture the active
principle.. Try to isolate and chemically identify the
particular [transforming] substance....
Some job--full of heartaches and heartbreaks. But at
last perhaps we have it....”

“Equally striking is the fact that the substance
evoking the reaction and the capsular
substance produced in response
to it are chemically distinct, each belonging to
a wholly different class of chemical
compounds.“

Mutation occurs independent of phage
Never interacts with phage
Mutation occurs independent of phage
Interact w/ phage but survive
B2. Hypothesis of acquired immunity – hereditary after infection
Predisposed to survive due to random physiological variation
Interact w/ phage but survive
Offspring hereditarily immune

1. First Hypothesis (mutation)
Finite Probability to mutate from “sensitive” to “resistant”
All offspring will be resistant
Survivors will be clones of resistant bacteria of various sizes
% resistant increases over time – new mutations appear
2. Second Hypothesis (acquired hereditary immunity)
Finite Probability for any to survive viral attack
Survival confers immunity & offspring will be resistant
Survivors will be random
% resistant should be static
Offspring resistant after phage encounter
All offspring resistant

Mutation hypothesis
Distribution of resistant bacteria has long tail of high
numbers of resistant bacteria
Predicts variance larger than average
Acquired hypothesis
Random, so described by Poisson’s law
Predicts variance equal to average
All offspring resistantOffspring resistant after
phage encounter
