  2. Hershey–Chase experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershey–Chase_experiment

    Thus, the Hershey–Chase experiment helped to confirm that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material. [ 6 ] Hershey and Chase showed that the introduction of deoxyribonuclease (referred to as DNase ), an enzyme that breaks down DNA, into a solution containing the labeled bacteriophages did not introduce any 32 P into the solution.

  3. Luria–Delbrück experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luria–Delbrück_experiment

    In their experiment, Luria and Delbrück inoculated a small number of bacteria (Escherichia coli) into separate culture tubes. After a period of growth, they plated equal volumes of these separate cultures onto agar containing the T1 phage (virus). If resistance to the virus in bacteria were caused by an induced activation in bacteria i.e. if ...

  4. Nirenberg and Leder experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirenberg_and_Leder_experiment

    The experiment elucidated the triplet nature of the genetic code and allowed the remaining ambiguous codons in the genetic code to be deciphered. In this experiment, using a ribosome binding assay called the triplet binding assay , various combinations of mRNA were passed through a filter which contained ribosomes.

  5. Nirenberg and Matthaei experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirenberg_and_Matthaei...

    The experiment deciphered the first of the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using nucleic acid homopolymers to translate specific amino acids. In the experiment, an extract was prepared from bacterial cells that could make protein without the presence of intact living cells .

  6. Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment - Wikipedia

    The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment was an experimental demonstration by Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty that, in 1944, reported that DNA is the substance that causes bacterial transformation, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was proteins that served the function of carrying genetic information (with the ...

    The Crick, Brenner et al. experiment (1961) was a scientific experiment performed by Francis Crick, Sydney Brenner, Leslie Barnett and R.J. Watts-Tobin. It was a key experiment in the development of what is now known as molecular biology and led to a publication entitled "The General Nature of the Genetic Code for Proteins" and according to the historian of Science Horace Judson is "regarded ...

  8. Mutation accumulation experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_accumulation...

    A mutation accumulation (MA) experiment is a genetic experiment in which isolated and inbred lines of organisms (so-called MA lines) are maintained such that the effect of natural selection is minimized, with the aim of quantitatively estimating the rates at which spontaneous mutations (mutations not caused by exogenous mutagens) occur in the studied organism.

  9. Meselson–Stahl experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meselson–Stahl_experiment

    The Meselson–Stahl experiment is an experiment by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl in 1958 which supported Watson and Crick's hypothesis that DNA replication was semiconservative. In semiconservative replication, when the double-stranded DNA helix is replicated, each of the two new double-stranded DNA helices consisted of one strand from ...
