Friedrich Miescher
This man was credited for first coming up with the idea of deoxyribonucleic acid or just DNA. He just wasn't able to truly see it and prove it like Watson or Crick -
Oswald Theodore Avery
He worked at the Rockefeller Center to prove that DNA (whatever it is since it was a new concept at this time) can cause genetic mutations to all animals, including humans. -
James Watson and Francis Crick
These people were the people who proved that DNA really does exist in all living things. -
Edwin Chargaff
Credited for finding out what DNA is made of. This includes: adenine. thymine, guanine, and cytosine. It is great to know what DNA is made of in our understanding. -
Rosalind Franklin
She is credited for helping Watson and Crick to prove that DNA truly exists in all living things. -
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase
They were the makers of the Hershey-Martha Experiment. In their discovery, they discovered that DNA is in charge of heredity. -
Sydney Brenner
He discovered that RNA works simiarly to DNA that it can send messages to the entire body. After all, it is in the nucleus of cells like DNA -
Herbert B. Boyer
He made the first recombinant DNA sample. This proved that DNA is only found in living things such as plants, animals, or humans. No rocks included! -
Kary B. Mullis
He wrote a paper about PSR involving uses of chemical reactions, which allows you to literly clone DNA! Now we have unlimited sheep! -
Thomas Cech
He knew what RNA truly understood the true properties of RNA, and its chemical structure. It looks like a more simple version of DNA, as if DNA was cut in half to make RNA.
