 =General= In this Unit you will have the opportunity to learn about DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis. You will be discovering how DNA is made and copied, as well as how messages are delivered to separate parts of the body.

=Study Guide Questions= 1. Please discuss the experiments, scientists, and discoveries that showed DNA is the genetic material of a cell.

The scientists that discovered that DNA is the genetic material of a cell were Martha Chase and Alfred Hershey. The way that these two proved that DNA was the genetic material of the cell was first they made the outside of a virus radioactive. when that same virus attacked the bacteria, the bacteria was not radioactive and remained unharmed. Next, they took a different virus and made the inside material (the DNA) radioactive. This time, when the virus went to attack the bacteria, the genetic material inside the cell caused this entire cell to become radioactive. In conclusion, Chase and Hershey decided that DNA was the hereditary material of a cell. Another two scientists are Griffith and Avery. what they did was play around with dead and alive cells and mice. they realized that DNA was the genetic material of a cell.
