Biochemical Bases for Heredity
- Focus on the core topic of heredity, particularly the role of DNA as the primary carrier of genetic information.
- The transformation experiment identifies how genetic material can transfer from one organism to another, altering its characteristics.
- The Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty experiment serves as a pivotal study establishing DNA as the substance responsible for heredity by demonstrating the principles of transformation in bacterial models.
