What was the main idea behind the discovery of DNA as the genetic material?

• It was discovered by accident.

• It involved many experiments.

• It was known since ancient times.

• It was discovered in the 1800s.

Who performed the first major experiment leading to the discovery of DNA as the genetic material?

• Gregor Mendel

• James Watson

• Frederick Griffith

• Rosalind Franklin

What are the two main components of chromosomes?

• Lipids and carbohydrates

• DNA and protein

• RNA and enzymes
