Gurdon experiment
E992893
UNEXPLORED
The Gurdon experiment was a landmark 1960s study in developmental biology demonstrating that the nucleus of a differentiated frog cell retains the full genetic information needed to direct the development of an entire organism, thereby proving the principle of nuclear equivalence and cellular reprogramming.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12622226 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
Target entity: Gurdon experiment Context triple: [John B. Gurdon, knownFor, Gurdon experiment]
-
A.
Luria–Delbrück experiment
The Luria–Delbrück experiment was a landmark 1943 study in bacterial genetics that demonstrated mutations arise randomly rather than in response to selective pressure, providing key evidence for the genetic basis of evolution.
-
B.
Hershey–Chase experiment
The Hershey–Chase experiment was a landmark 1952 study in molecular biology that used bacteriophages to demonstrate that DNA, rather than protein, is the genetic material.
-
C.
Dulbecco
Dulbecco is the surname of Renato Dulbecco, an Italian virologist and Nobel Prize laureate recognized for his pioneering work on the interaction between viruses and the genetic material of cells.
-
D.
von Baer’s laws of embryology
Von Baer’s laws of embryology are a set of principles in developmental biology stating that general features of a group of animals appear earlier in embryonic development than specialized features, and that embryos of different species diverge rather than pass through adult stages of other species.
-
E.
Ashra experiment
The Ashra experiment is a high-energy astrophysics observatory project in Hawaii designed to detect cosmic rays, gamma rays, and neutrinos using wide-field optical imaging techniques.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
