Best Answer

Avery and his colleagues wanted to isolate the active chemical responsible for the transformation principle (genes) and group it into a known group of chemicals (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides...) or at least find out its basic chemical properties.

So it could maybe be formulated as follows: "What is the active chemical inducing transformation of Pneumococci Type II to Pneumococci Type III in previously outlined experiments?"

Therefore, the null-hypothesis would be: "Which chemical substances can be excluded from being responsible for inducing this transformation?"

Who determined DNA was a chemical that contained inherited information?

The assumption of inheritence material was first suggested by Griffith's experiments on diplococcus. Later on in 1944 three scientist; Avery, Macleod, and Mc. Carty repeated the Griffith's experiment and finally Harshey and Chase perform the experiment with bacteriophage and E.coli and prooved that DNA is a genetic material.


What scientist concluded that DNA was the factor that caused one bacterium to transfer into another?

In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty published a paper demonstrating that DNA was the transforming factor.Their discovery was at first met with disbelief by some scientists, who thought that only proteins could have enough complexity to hold genetic information. Also, for a while some scientists thought bacteria might have a different genetic chemistry from other organisms.Avery
