In a very simple experiment, Oswald Avery's group showed that DNA was the "transforming principle." When isolated from one strain of bacteria, DNA was able to transform another strain and confer characteristics onto that second strain. DNA was carrying hereditary information.
What is the conclusion that can be made from Avery's experiment?
Avery and his colleagues concluded that protein could not be the transforming factor. Next, they treated the mixture with DNA-destroying enzymes. This time the colonies failed to transform. Avery concluded that DNA is the genetic material of the cell.
What was Avery McCarty MacLeod experiment intention?
Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty showed that DNA (not proteins) can transform the properties of cells, clarifying the chemical nature of genes. Avery, MacLeod and McCarty identified DNA as the "transforming principle" while studying Streptococcus pneumoniae, bacteria that can cause pneumonia.
