Scientists
Used S and R strains of Pneumonia to determine there was a transforming principle in living things.
Griffith
The enzyme that unzips the DNA
DNA Helicase
What is the monomer of DNA
Nucleotide
What macromolecule is RNA?
nucleic acid
The RNA responsible for carrying the DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosome.
mRNA
Proved that DNA is the genetic material using radioactive phosphorus and sulfur.
Hershey and Chase
The Enzyme that adds nucleotide bases to the template strand
DNA Polymerase
What are the three parts of a nucleotide
Phosphate, sugar, nitrogenous base
What RNA is responsible for making up the ribosome
rRNA
The parts of the mRNA that do not get used in protein synthesis. Hint: they stay inside the nucleus.
Introns
Discovered that adenine roughly equals thymine and cytosine roughly equals guanine.
Chargaff
The enzyme that prepares the DNA for replication
RNA Primase
What is DNA replication called? Hint: it produces two new DNA molecules with one strand from the original and one new strand.
semiconservative replication
What sugar does RNA have
ribose
The RNA responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
tRNA
Used X-ray diffraction to get a picture of the structure of DNA.
Wilkins and Franklin
The enzyme that glues okazaki fragments together
DNA Ligase
DNA contains what sugar molecule
deoxyribose
Single stranded or double stranded?
single
What do we call a permanent change in a cell's DNA
Mutation
Built the double helix structure model and proposed a possible explanation of DNA replication.
Watson and Crick
The enzyme that adds RNA nucleotides to the DNA template to make mRNA
RNA polymerase
What makes up the backbone of DNA
sugar phosphate
contains which bases?
Daily double: Which ones go together?
