Fred Griffith’s discovery and the Avery, McLeod, and McCarty experiment | DNA's role in heredity pt1

Among the significant scientific accomplishments of the 20th century was the discovery that DNA is responsible for passing genetic information from generation to generation. As recently as the 1940s, many scientists considered DNA an unlikely candidate to carry heritable information because it is a simple molecule made of just four different nucleic acids providing a very small, four-letter alphabet that describes the diversity of life. The work that ultimately led scientists to accept DNA’s role was triggered by the British bacteriologist Fred Griffith’s discovery of transformation.
