1) Oswald Avery's major discovery was that DNA is the molecule responsible for transformation in bacteria. This finding demonstrated that DNA carries genetic information.
2) The three main types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome; transfer RNA (tRNA), which brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis; and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which is a key component of ribosomes and helps facilitate protein synthesis.
3) The Hershey-Chase experiment used radioactive labeling to track whether DNA or protein was the genetic material in viruses. It proved that DNA, not protein, is the hereditary material that transmits genetic information during viral infection.
4) DNA is double-stranded, has deoxyribose sugar, and uses thymine as a base; RNA is single-stranded, has ribose sugar, and uses uracil instead of thymine. A similarity between DNA and RNA is that both are nucleic acids that play crucial roles in genetic information.
