Did someone say blender?
Frederick Griffith fiddled with the bacterium of pneumonia and discovered this fundamental principle.
The "transforming principle"
These base-pairing rules describe how nucleotides have to pair in a particular fashion to form pairs in DNA.
T with A and G with C
These little suckers can zip together packets of nucleotides in no time.
DNA Polymerase
tRNA has seemed to rip off the hunchback of Notre Dame's posture. It carries THESE two components.
Amino Acid and anticodons.
This ecologist warned us about the widespread use of pesticides and other potential mutagens.
Rachel Carson
These American biologists confirmed that DNA is the transforming principle and not protein through a phage experiment. (HINT: One of the scientist's last name resembles a particular candy bar)
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase
Daily Double! To our surprise, these base-pairing letters stand for something.
A = Adenine
T = Thymine
C = Cystosine
G = Guanine
On the flip side, these whizzing enzymes unzip what the previous enzymes do.
RNA polymerases
Relationship status! A ribosome forms THIS type of bond between the two amino acids.
A peptide bond.
A series of these suckers can do some harm to an organism's DNA by an insertion or deletion of a nucleotide.
Frameshift mutation.
This lady contributed towards the discovery of the true shape of DNA but isn't credited the most.
Roslin D. Franklin
DNA's "backbone" is made up of two things.
Phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugar molecules.
Francis Crick created this principle that regards information as flowing in one direction.
The Central Dogma
This commonly known three-lettered codon that has the ability to stop an mRNA strand.
UAA, UAG, or UGA
This gene helps establish a body pattern for us. (HINT: SEGA may have something to say about this.)
Sonic hedgehog.
This duo greatly benefitted by a scientist's model of DNA and used the discovery without her consent.
Watson and Crick.
This type of bond that holds the DNA double helix together.
Hydrogen Bonds
This process is similar to transcription.
Replication
This location houses the factory of ribosomes to manufacture these marvelous amino acids.
Cytoplasm
These nucleotide segments are portrayed as little red or blue (depending on what stage it is in) licorice pieces in our textbooks.
Introns and Exons.
Griffin's significant discovery puzzled this group of scientists for over a decade.
Oswald Avery and his group of biologists.
These two nitrogen-containing bases are favored by Hydrogen bonds.
Cytosine with Guanine.
(Obligatory Definition Question) An intermediate message that is translated to form a protein.
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
A ribosome can hold this number of binding sites.
Three binding sites.
A seven-nucleotide promoter that is located in most of our eukaryotic cells. (HINT: Ms. Tia finds fun out of saying this word.)
