DNA Structure
100

The microorganism that he used to study.

Streptococcus pneumoniae

100

Instead of performing the transformation experiment in mice, they did this.

Grew cells in culture

100

They used these organisms in their experiments

Bacteriophages

100

You can use this to separate cellular compartments by weight

Cesium Chloride Gradient and Centrifugation

100

This is what DNA stands for.

What is deoxyribonucleic acid?

200

The wild type that he studied has this around it.

polysaccharide capsule

200

The result of S cell extract + live R cells + RNAse

S cells (transformation)

200

Radioactive sulfur is detectable in these.

Proteins
200

In this model, we expect to observe one completely new helix and one parental helix.

Conservative replication

200

The nitrogenous bases are divided into these two groups.

What are purines and pyrimidines?

300

When he injected the S type into the mouse, this happened.

It died.

300

The result of S cell extract + live R cells + Protease

S cells (transformation)

300

Radioactive phosphorus is detectable in these.

DNA

300

Cell debris will stay in this layer after centrifugation

Top layer

300

The position on the sugar ring where it binds to nitrogen.

What is 1' position?

400

When he injected the R type into the mouse, this happened.

The mouse lived.

400

The result of S cell extract + live R cells + DNAse

R cells (no transformation)

400

This is what happens when T2 injects its genes into the host cell.

New phages form and cell bursts.

400

In this model, we expect to see blocks of parental and daughter materilas in both strands.

Dispersive replication

400

The name of the bond that forms between sugar and base.

Beta-n-glycosidic bond

500

It protects the bacteria from an animal's immune response.

Polysaccharide capsule

500

They did this to eliminate the fat.

Ultracentrifugation

500

The name of the blender they used.

Waring blender

500

This is why they grew E. coli in 14N medium.

To incorporate radioactivity into its DNA.

500

The form of DNA that Watson and Crick discovered.

B form or right-handed DNA
