Translation
Who showed that DNA is the genetic material?
Henry and Chase
What are the monomers of DNA called?

What is it called when DNA replicates and each new double helix consists of one old and one new?
Semi-Conservative Replication
What is it called when a gene must first be copied in the nucleus?
Transcription
What is the RNA which carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome?
Messenger RNA
Who discovered the base pairing rules?
Watson and Crick
Central Dogma of Biology?
DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is translated to protein.
What is the "One gene, one polypeptide" hypothesis?
Where does mRNA go?

Base Pairing rules
A pairs with T, C pairs with G.
What is the enzyme that builds the new RNA strand?
RNA polymerase.
RNA that brings the new amino acids into the ribosome when translation is happening.
Transfer
