DNA Replication
Transcription
Translation
100
This person repeated Griffith's work and concluded that DNA is the molecule that's transferred from one bacterium to another.
Who is Oswald Avery?
100
These two scientists used the data of other scientists to figure out the structure of DNA.
Who are Watson & Crick?
100
This is the location of DNA replication in the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
This is the molecule that is transcribed (made) during transcription.
What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
100
This is the product, or outcome, of translation.
What is a protein, or polypeptide chain?
200
This person worked with mice and pneumonia and discovered the phenomenon of transformation
Who is Frederick Griffith
200
This is the scientist who figured out that A matches with T and C matches with G.
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
200
This is the outcome of DNA replication.
What are two identical copies of DNA?
200
This is the name of the enzyme that creates the mRNA from the DNA template.
What is RNA polymerase?
200
This is the location of translation in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is the ribosome?
300
This experiment worked with bacteriophages and confirmed that DNA is the molecule of heredity.
What is the Hershey-Chase experiment?
300
This person took the famous photograph of DNA which was used to figure out the structure of DNA.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
300
This is the molecule that unwinds and unzips the DNA molecule.
What is helicase?
300
This is the location for transcription.
What is the nucleus?
300
This is the molecule that transports amino acids to the ribosome and assembles them according to the mRNA instructions.
What is transfer RNA, or tRNA?
400
This rule states that, in DNA, Adenine matches with Thymine and Cytosine matches with Guanine.
What is Chargaff's Rule?
400
This scientist worked at the same college as Rosalind Franklin and also received a Nobel Prize for the discovery of DNA's structure.
Who is Maurice Wilkins?
400
It's in this direction or directions that replication occurs.
What is both directions?
400
This is what happens to the mRNA after it has been transcribed (created) and before it is able to leave the nucleus.
What is RNA editing?
400
This is the name of the set of 3 bases in DNA/RNA that are read as one "word".
What is a codon?
500
These molecules are the building blocks of both DNA & RNA which are made up of a sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
What are nucleotides?
500
This American scientist, whose son worked with James Watson, tried unsuccessfully to figure out DNA's structure.
Who is Linus Pauling?
500
This is the name given to the section of DNA that is currently being separated so replication can occur.
What is the replication fork?
500
This is the nucleotide base sequence on DNA that signals the starting point for RNA polymerase.
What is a promoter?
500
The codon AUG will have this corresponding anticodon.
What is UAC?
