Scientists
Scientist(s) who was the first in 1928 to experiment with bacterium to reveal the “transforming principle,” which then led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information.
Frederick Griffith
Scientist(s) that discovered that in DNA, the ratios of adenine (A) to thymine (T) and guanine (G) to cytosine (C) are equal.
Erwin Chargaff
Which enzyme is the "builder" - creates DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
DNA polymerase
What is the name of the talking dog in Up?
Doug
What is the name of the tallest grass on earth?
Bamboo
Scientist(s) who conducted an experiment in which protein and DNA of bacteriophages were labeled with radioactive isotopes. When allowed to infect bacteria, the bacteriophage protein remained attached to the cell membrane of the phage, while phage DNA entered the bacteria. This showed that DNA represented the genetic material found in living organisms.
Hershey and Chase
What is the complementary DNA strand to ACTAGCAAT
The "gluer"- joining breaks in the backbone of DNA that occur during replication and recombination, and as a consequence of DNA damage and its repair.
Ligase
Where is Big Ben located?
London, England
What is the hardest natural substance on Earth?
Diamond.
Won a Nobel Peace Prize for the discovery in 1953 of the double helix, the twisted-ladder structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Also created the first 3D model.
James Watson and Francis Crick
What base pairs with Adenine?
Thymine
Serves as a starting point for DNA replication.
Primase
Mickey Mantle is an athlete known for which sport?
Baseball
Who was the first person to walk on the Moon?
Neil Armstrong
Scientist(s) showed that DNA was the "transforming principle." When isolated from one strain of bacteria, DNA was able to transform another strain and confer characteristics onto that second strain. DNA was carrying hereditary information.
Oswald Avery
What base pairs with Cytosine?
Guanine
The "unzipper" - unwinds DNA by the use of the energy-equivalent ATP.
Helicase
Who lives at Number 4, Privet Drive?
Harry Potter
What is the hottest planet in the solar system?
Venus
Scientist(s) who worked with x-rays in the creation of the famous Photo 51 demonstrated the double-helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid: the molecule containing the genetic instructions for the development of all living organisms.
Rosalind Franklin
What are 3 components of a nucleotide?
Phosphate, Sugar, Base
The term used when one strand will be from the original template molecule. One strand will be newly synthesized.
Semi-Conservative
What are the primary colors?
Red, Blue, Yellow
What is the largest bone in the human body?
Femur
