1 MOLEULR BIOLOY 1 MOLEULR BIOLOY he study of heredity at the genetic level Frederick riffith work with bacteria in 1928 hromosomes ( + proteins) Began the field of molecular biology 2 1

2 HERSHEY & HSE Showed is genetic material using experiments with bacteriophages 1 phage attaches itself to a bacterial cell. 2 he phage injects genetic into the bacterium. 3 he phage genes direct the host cell to make more phage genes and proteins; new phages assemble. he cell lyses and releases the new phages. Bacteriophages viruses that only affect bacteria 3 NULEOIDES Nucleotides are molecules made of a phosphate group, sugar and nitrogenous base one nucleotide (hymine) Phosphate group Nitrogenous base Sugar 4 2

3 MOLEULR BIOLOY OF polynucleotide called deoxyribonucleic acid hymine Phosphate group he sugar in is called (deoxyribose) hymine () ytosine () denine () uanine () Pyrimidines Purines 5 MOLEULR BIOLOY OF has a sugar phosphate backbone that strings nucleotides together Phosphate group Nitrogenous base Sugar Sugar-phosphate backbone 6 3
