Did someone say blender?
Frederick Griffith fiddled with the bacterium of pneumonia and discovered a fundamental principle.
The "transforming principle"
Because of the base-pairing rules, 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 packets of nucleotides in no time.
DNA Polymerase
tRNA has seemed to rip off the hunchback of Notre Dame's posture, but what are its main three components?
Amino Acid, tRNA, and anticodons.
A seven-nucleotide promoter that is located in most of our eukaryotic cells.
TATA Box
Griffin's significant discovery puzzled this group of scientists for over a decade.
Oswald Avery and his fellow scientists.
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 do the opposite of what the previous enzymes do.
RNA polymerases
Relationship status! The type of bond that a ribosome forms between the two amino acids.
A peptide bond.
A series of these suckers can do some harm to an organism's DNA.
Frameshift mutation.
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
DNA's "backbone" is made up of two things.
Phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugar molecules.
Francis Crick created a principle that regards information flowing in one direction.
The Central Dogma
Commonly known three-lettered codon that has the ability to stop an mRNA strand.
UAG
This gene helps establish a body pattern for us.
Sonic hedgehog.
This lady contributed towards the discovery of the true shape of DNA but isn't credited the most.
Roslin Franklin
The type of bond that holds the DNA double helix together.
Hydrogen Bonds
One main process that is similar to transcription.
Replication
Even though this factory consists of ribosomes to manufacture these marvelous amino acids, it's located somewhere.
Cytoplasm
These nucleotide segments are portrayed as little licorice pieces in our textbooks.
Introns and Exons.
This duo greatly benefitted by Franklin's model of DNA and used her discovery without her consent.
Watson and Crick.
Hydrogen bonds prefer certain types of nitrogen-containing bases, so even they have their favorites.
Cytosine with Guanine.
(Obligatory Definition Question) An intermediate message that is translated to form a protein.
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Daily Double! There are two other STOP codons out there!
UAA and UGA
This Codon: CAU is an amino acid quite familiar to us.
Histidine.
