Explanation / Answer

1)b) determined that DNA contains 4 different nitrogenous bases

Also conducted important research into the composition of proteins and he also discovered polypeptide nature of protein molecule

2)e) discovered the transforming principle that could genetically alter bacteria

It suggested that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information by the process of transformation

3)c) found that transforming principle is destroyed by enzymes that hydrolyzed DNA

Restriction enzymes hydrolyze the DNA molecule except phosphoryl group

4)a) used X- ray diffraction to examine the structure of DNA

Also provided contributions towards the structure of DNA ,viruses , coal and granite
