Terms in this set (188)
selective breeding (artificial the process of developing organisms with
selection) specific characteristics as chosen by the
breeders
Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) Amateur botanist who published an explanation
of hereditary transmission in plants in 1866.
Known for his pea-plant experiments and
commonly referred to as the "father of genetics"
modern genetics the study of heredity and the variation of
inherited characteristics
, bacterial transforming principle an experiment proposed by Frederick Griffith in
1928 which suggested that a "transforming
principle" from a heat-killed virulent
Pneumococcus strain can transform a non-
virulent strain into a pathogenic one.
Avery, McCarty, MacLeod (1944) biological researchers who identified DNA as the
likely transforming principle in Griffith's
experiment.
Hershey and Chase (1952) concluded that the genetic material of the
bacteriophage was DNA, not protein.
Edwin Chargaff Austrian biochemist who discovered that
identical quantities of A and T, C and G were
present in DNA (developed the complementary
base-pairing rule for DNA).
Frederick Griffith (1928) British bacteriologist; the first person to show
that hereditary information could be transferred
from one cell to another horizontally rather than
vertically
genome the complete set of genetic information carried
by a species
vertical transmission gene transmission between organisms without
parental reproduction
horizontal transmission gene transmission from parents to their offspring
through reproduction (aka person-to-person)
DNA replication the process in which DNA makes a duplicate
copy of itself.
