DNA TIMELINE
DNA TIMELINE -
Gregor Mendal
He noticed certain traits of pea plants followed patters. Now part of the Mendelian Inheritance, which is how characteristics of some plants are passes on from the parent cells. -
Friederich Miescher
He is known for the discovery of nucleic acid (DNA) -
Frederick Griffith
For an experiment he thought would help others point out that DNA is a molecule of inheritance. -
Erwin Chargaff
Noticed that there was a pattern that occurred in the four bases which are: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. -
John Sulston
He played a leading role in the human genome project. He was awarded for the understanding of the development and dividing of the cells in C. elegans in 2002. -
Oswald Avery
Avery is best known for discovering that DNA is the material of which genes and chromosomes are made. -
Maurice Hugh Fredrick Wilkins
His biggest contribution to society was he discovered the structure of
DNA. He made the first accurate, detailed model of DNA. -
Hershey & Chase
They conducted an extraordinary experiment that helped to convince the world that DNA was genetic material. -
Rosalind Franklin
She was a main contributor to the understanding of the fine molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal and graphite. -
Frederick Sanger
He sequenced RNA and DNA -
Thomas Hunt WIlkins
He proved that genes or genetic material is carried on chromosomes by his experiments with fruit flies.
