History of genetics of the fruit fly "Drosophila melanogaster". In 1928, Frederick Griffith showed that genes could be transferred. In what is now known as Griffith's experiment, injections into a mouse of a deadly strain of bacteria that had been heat-killed transferred genetic information to a safe strain of the same bacteria, killing the mouse. A series of subsequent discoveries led to the realization decades later that the genetic material is made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). In 1941, George Wells Beadle and Edward Lawrie Tatum showed that mutations in genes caused errors in specific steps in metabolic pathways. This showed that specific genes
Acetic acid (medical use) 25 USD. Acetic acid is more commonly used for external ear infections in the developing world than the developed. Acetic acid may be applied to the cervix to help detect cervical cancer during screening in many areas in the developing world. Acetic acid is applied to the cervix and if an area of white appears after about a minute the test is positive. Acetic acid (medical use) Acetic acid, which at low concentrations is known as vinegar, is used as a medication to treat a number of conditions. As an eardrop it is used to treat infections of the ear
