Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment

Target entity: Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment
Context triple: [Oswald Avery, knownFor, Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment]

• A. Hershey–Chase experiment
  The Hershey–Chase experiment was a landmark 1952 study in molecular biology that used bacteriophages to demonstrate that DNA, rather than protein, is the genetic material.
• B. Luria–Delbrück experiment
  The Luria–Delbrück experiment was a landmark 1943 study in bacterial genetics that demonstrated mutations arise randomly rather than in response to selective pressure, providing key evidence for the genetic basis of evolution.
• C. Oswald Avery
  Oswald Avery was a Canadian-American physician and molecular biologist best known for demonstrating that DNA is the material responsible for heredity.
• D. Koch's postulates
  Koch's postulates are a set of criteria formulated in the late 19th century to establish a causal relationship between a specific microorganism and a particular disease.
• E. Gurdon experiment
  The Gurdon experiment was a landmark 1960s study in developmental biology demonstrating that the nucleus of a differentiated frog cell retains the full genetic information needed to direct the development of an entire organism, thereby proving the principle of nuclear equivalence and cellular reprogramming.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
