The three parts of a DNA nucleotide.
What are a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
200
The enzyme that “unzips” DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds.
What is helicase?
200
An organism that infects bacteria
What is a Bacteriophage?
300
This scientist provided evidence that DNA—not protein—was the transforming principle.
Who is Oswald Avery

What is structure C
What is a nitrogen base?
400
These two scientists used radioactive sulfur and phosphorus to prove DNA enters bacterial cells.
Who are Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase?
400
The type of bond that holds complementary bases together in the center of the DNA molecule.
What are hydrogen bonds?

The type of replication where each new DNA molecule contains one old strand and one new strand.
What is semiconservative replication?
400
What isa double helix?
