-
We worked together to finish this project. (teamwork)
-
Gregor Mendel discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. (genetics)
-
Was the first researcher to identify DNA as a distinct molecule and to isolate and identify nucleic acid. (genetics)
-
Thomas Morgan Hunt was the first person to definitively link the inheritance of a specific trait with a particular chromosome. He was able to confirm the chromosome theory. (genetics)
-
Alfred Sturtevant constructed the first genetic map of a chromosome. (genetics)
-
Frederick Griffith was the first experimenter suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation. (bacteria)
-
These two discovered that the recombination of genes linked on a chromosome requires the physical exchange of segments of the chromosomes with its homologous partner. (genetics)
-
Oswald Avery is best known for the experiment that isolated DNA as the material of which genes and chromosomes are made and it can be altered through transformation. (genetics)
-
Erwin Chargaff proposed three main rules known as Chargaff's Rules about DNA. The first rule was adenine and thymine residues are equal. Second rule was guanine and cytosine residues are equal. And the third rule is that purines and pyrimidines are equal. (genetics)
-
Rosalind Franklin used x-ray diffraction in order to discover two forms of DNA, a dry "A" form and a wet "B" form. (genetics)
-
this dynamic duo discovered that genetic material is found in DNA prior to that discovery, most scientists believed that genetic material was found in proteins due to their diversity and prevalence in cells. (genetics)
-
In 1953 they determined the double-helix structure of DNA, which is the molecule containing human genes. (genetics)
-
Conducted experiment which supported the hypothesis that DNA replication was semiconservative.
-
Joe Hin Tjio dispelled a 50 year old held belief that the number of chromosomes in the human cell was 48, when we established the majority of human cells contain 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. (genetics)
-
Herb Boyer discovered a method to coax bacteria into producing foreign proteins, thereby jump starting the field of genetic engineering. (biotechnology)
-
Alec Jefferys developed genetic techniques for DNA fingerprinting and DNA profiling which are both now used worldwide in forensic sciences. (genetics)
-
J. Craig Venter is the first person to sequence the human genome and the first to transfect a cell with a synthetic genome. (biotechnology)
-
Ian Wilmut was the first to use nuclear transfer of differentiated adult cells to generate a mammalian clone, which was a sheep named Dolly. (biotechnology)
