Oswald Avery, an early molecular biologist and immunochemist, is best known for his discovery in 1944 (with his co-workers Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty) that DNA is the material of which genes and chromosomes are made.

∙ 9y agoOswald Theodore Avery (1877-1955) was a Canadian-born bacteriologist, research physician, and one of the founders of immunochemistry. He is best known for his discovery that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) serves as genetic material. His work helped create a platform for modern DNA research.

∙ 14y agoAvery took qualitative tests for protein in a sample of the transforming agent and the test came back negative, meaning the presence of the unknown genetic material does not exist. However, the qualitative test for DNA came back positive, confirming the genetic material's presence. Avery further proved his discovery by analyzing the chemical components of the genetic material, finding that the phosphorous-nitrogen ratio was closely similar to that of DNA.

Understanding the goals of a would be aggressor is essential in developing an appropriate defense?
This is one of those "it depends on.." answers...But it does. If one is defending against a sudden grab while getting into one's car in a parking lot, (since the defender has no way of knowing the intent, other than it's not benign, the defense should based on the worst-case scenario. This includes abduction, rape, torture murder. Take another view, that of military Strategc defense, for example. Long term intelligence gathering may give the potential defender Avery good idea of what will be coming their way, as the United States and USSR exhibited for many years. In this case, the answer is definitely, yes.
What was the names of the two scientists who discovered DNA?
James Watson and Francis Crick are usually credited with the big breakthrough, though their work was built on that of others, including Maurice Wilkins and his team. This was recognised when Wilkins shared the Nobel prize with them. Many people credit Rosalind Franklin with an important part of the work too, but she died before the prize was awarded.
