History of DNA WebQuest 1. Friedrich (Fritz) Miescher http://www.dnai.org/timeline/index.html Find Miescher on the timeline and click on the bucket with the Red Cross to watch the animation. In 1869, he extracted a substance from white blood cells that he called nuclein. What do you think he was actually extracting? 2. Frederick Griffith http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/Bio104/dna.htm Frederick Griffith’s famous experiment was conducted in 1928. In his experiment, ______________ smooth virulent bacteria plus live rough _____________________ bacteria killed mice. His experiment demonstrated that DNA was the ____________ material.

3. Oswald Avery: http://library.thinkquest.org/20830/Textbook/HistoryofDNAResearch.htm In 1944, what did he discover that DNA is responsible for? 4. Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/dna.htm a. In 1952, their experiments showed that ______ is the genetic material instead of ____________.

What are four sources of DNA that he used? http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/gene/chargaff.htm Adenine (A) pairs with _____________ Guanine (G) pairs with _____________ The bases that are purines include ___________ & ____________. The bases that are pyrimidines include __________ & ____________.
6. Rosalind Franklin: http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/AB/BC/Rosalind_Franklin.php http://www.dnai.org/timeline/index.html Watch Franklin’s X-ray diffraction pattern. What is X-ray crystallography (a.k.a. X-ray diffraction)? What did she discover about the shape of DNA?
