Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which Griffith’s work provides a foundation for the experiments of Avery and his colleagues pointing to DNA as the essential genetic material.

Introduction: DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid carries hereditary information from one generation to another.

DNA can be transferred through sexual or asexual reproduction. Proteins are products obtained from DNA after transcription and translation.
