  1. 1. and Crick discovering the double helix structure of DNA
  2. 3. rules dictate DNA's double helix structure and are crucial for genetic replication and expression, ensuring accurate copying of hereditary information.
  3. 4. discovery with MacLeod and McCarty that DNA, not protein, carries genetic information
  4. 8. and Chase which used radioactive tracers and bacteriophages (viruses) to definitively prove that DNA, not protein, carries genetic information, confirming DNA as the hereditary material of life and a cornerstone of modern genetics.
