In 1944, three scientists—Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty—conducted a powerful experiment.
They worked with deadly and harmless bacteria.
When they mixed harmless bacteria with remains of dead, dangerous bacteria, the harmless ones became deadly.
Something had transferred the deadly trait. But what?
They removed proteins and RNA, yet the transformation still happened.
Only one molecule remained—DNA.
That’s when they realized: DNA was carrying genetic information.
But many scientists still didn’t believe it
