Discovery of DNA. Today, we know that DNA is the genetic material: the molecule that bears genes, is passed from parents to children, and provides instructions for the growth and functioning of living organisms. But scientists didnât always know this.

If zirconia is a single crystal form, then it is the cubic zirconia gemstone that we discussed earlier. Lesson Summary. Zirconium is a metal that has 40 protons in its nucleus, so it is the 40th element on the periodic table. It has the chemical symbol Zr. It was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789 and first isolated by JÃ¶ns Berzelius in 1824.
