During the course of the expirement Mendal discovered many new rules about heredity. These rules had to do with dominant and recessive alles, true breeding, and the laws of segragtion and assortmant.
-
Frederick Miescher isolated nuclein( now known as nucleic acid). This find helped prove DNA was the true carrier of inherintence.
-
Morgan wanted to understand how a mutation was inherited. So he used fruit flys because the bred quickly and were cheap.
-
Influenza is the flu or the common cold. This epidemic infect 500 million people and killed an estimated 20 million.
-
Griffth transported different strains of bacteria into mice and saw what happened. Some times the mouse lived ,some times it died.

-
Avery replicated many of Griffiths experiments. He discovered bacteria even had genes.
-

-
Chargaff created a series of laws about DNA. The law states the the ratio of purine bases and pyrimidine bases is 1:1. This is true for both strands of DNA.
-
Up until this point it was widely thought proteins were the true carriers of genetic material. This was becasue DNA was viewed as too simple. This discovery changed the entire course of modern biology.
-
Photo 51 was taken the trough x-ray diffraction. This photo was cruciacl in determining the DNA model. It Proved the shape was a helix.
-
Linus Pauling was probably the most famous biologist at the this time. He proposed the thath the shape of the DNA model was a triple helix. Sadly this was quickly disproven.
-
Watson and Crick confirmed double helix was the true DNA model. This was revolutionary in decoding DNA and helping biologists figure out other unsolved mysterys about orginisms.
-
This ten year conflict happened when the U.S decided to help the south vietnamese. In reality the U.S. was trying to fight communism spread by Soviet Russia.
-
He previously released a hit titled "Folsom Prison Blues". This gave Cash the idea to actually play in the prison which he did.
