Physicist Monk known as the father of genetics.

Popularizes Mendell's work. Is an English Scientist

Mathmatician who worked for William Bateson. Found a symbolic way to describe/model Mendel's work.

Known as the founder of U.S. genetics. Scientist who studied under Bateson and worked with fruit flies. Creates the 1st Genetic Maps.

Introduce the Chromosome Theory of Inheritance, which establishes a link between heredity and the chromosomes

Worked with mice and Pneumococcus bacteria. Discovered that there are 2 types of bacteria:smooth and rough.

Copies Griffith's experiment to figure out if DNA or proteins is the key to genetics.

Use Bacteriophages to show that DNA is the genetic material of T2, a virus that infects the bacterium Escherichia coli(E. Coli)

Discoveres that DNA has equal amounts of the nitrogen bases adenine and thymine as well as cytosine and guanine.

Determine the helical structure of DNA. Basically find out that DNA is in a double helix shape.

Discover that Nitrogenous bases are located in the middle of DNA

Create a model that gives new meaning to the words genes and chromosomes. Figures out that the genetic information in a chromosome is encoded in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. End up building a literal model of the structure of DNA and publish a paper about it.

Discover that DNA replication is semi-conservative
