    <h2>Introduction</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>Genetics is the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.</li>
      <li>Evolution is the change in genetic composition of a population over time.</li>
      <li>Molecular basis of inheritance refers to the mechanisms by which genetic information is stored, replicated, and expressed.</li>
      <li>Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty conducted an experiment to determine the nature of the genetic material.</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Aim of the Experiment</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>To identify the molecule responsible for transmitting genetic information.</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Experimental Setup</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>The experiment was conducted using a bacterium, Streptococcus pneumoniae.</li>
      <li>Two strains of the bacterium were used: a virulent strain (S strain) and a non-virulent strain (R strain).</li>
      <li>The S strain caused pneumonia in mice, while the R strain was harmless.</li>
      <li>The researchers aimed to determine whether the transformation of the R strain into the S strain was due to a protein or a nucleic acid.</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Experimental Procedure</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty isolated the cell extract from the S strain containing various macromolecules.</li>
      <li>They treated the extract with different enzymes to selectively break down proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.</li>
      <li>Each treated extract was then mixed with the R strain bacteria, and the transformation capability was tested.</li>
    </ul>
  </section>

  <!-- Slide 6 -->
  <section>
    <h2>Results</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>The extract treated with enzymes that broke down proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates did not affect the transformation.</li>
      <li>However, when the extract was treated with an enzyme called DNase, which breaks down DNA, the transformation no longer occurred.</li>
      <li>This indicated that DNA is the genetic material responsible for the transformation of the R strain into the S strain.</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Conclusion</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>The Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty experiment provided strong evidence that DNA is the genetic material.</li>
      <li>This paved the way for further research on the structure, function, and replication of DNA.</li>
    </ul>
