Strengthening the Foundation: Chargaff Formulates His "Rules" Many people believe that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA in the 1950s. In reality, this is not the case. Rather, DNA was first identified in the late 1860s by Swiss chemist Friedrich Miescher. Then, in the decades following Miescher's discovery, other scientists- notably, Phoebus Levene and Erwin Chargaff- carried out a series of research efforts that revealed additional details about the DNA molecule, including its primary chemical components and the ways in which they joined with one another. Without the scientific foundation provided by these pioneers, Watson and Crick may never have reached their groundbreaking conclusion of 1953: that the DNA molecule exists in the form of a three-dimensional double helix. |
Answer the following questions:
- A segment of DNA has 100 adenine and 150 cytosine bases. What is the total number of nucleotides present in this segment of DNA?
- A sample of hair and blood was found at two sites. Scientists claim that the samples belong to same species. How did the scientists arrive at this conclusion?
- The sample of a virus was tested and it was found to contain 20% adenine, 20% thymine, 20% guanine and the rest cytosine. Is the genetic material of this virus (a) DNA-double helix (b) DNA-single helix (c) RNA? What do you infer from this data?
OR
How can Chargaff’s rule be used to infer that the genetic material of an organism is double-helix or single-helix?
