Gregor Mendel
Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his garden. His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants. -
Friedrich Miescher
Friedrich Miescher's discovery of the genetic code was huge,he extracted and observed DNA from white blood cells. Friedrich Miescher was a Swiss physician and biologist who is known to be the first person to isolate nucleic acid. -
Frederick Griffith
Frederick Griffith was a British bacteriologist. Griffiths experiment showed us that bacteria can change form and function through transformation. -
Oswald Avery
Oswald Avery was one of the first molecular biologist. Avery is best known for his experiment that isolated DNA. This was a huge discovery and help them figure out that DNA was carrying hereditary information. -
Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin discovered the density of DNA and also established that the molecule existed in a helical conformation. Her work showed that DNA molecules are in an X-ray patterns.Her work paved the road for Watson & Crick to come up with DNA is a double-helix. -
Hershey & Chase
Hershey and Chase concluded that DNA was not a protein that it was a genetic material. They determined that a protective protein film was formed around it. -
Watson & Crick
Watson and Crick determined the double-helix structure of DNA the molecule containing human genes.DNA–short for deoxyribonucleic acid–was discovered in 1869. -
Collins & Venter
Venter made a new strategy for the discovery and tagging of genes that revolutionized biological science. ... Efforts to bring Collins and Venter together to complete the mapping of the human genome began in late 1999.
