Structure
The shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
It is the molecule that carries traits from parents to offspring.
What is DNA?
The replication of DNA occurs during this stage of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
His "rules" lead to the discovery of which bases in DNA were bound together.
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
The organelle where most of the cell's DNA is located.
What is the nucleus?
What are nucleotides?
DNA from organisms of the same species will have very similar percentages of each of these.
What are nitogen bases?
The first step in DNA replication.
What is the DNA is unzipped?
She took the X-ray diffraction pictures that helped to determine the shape of DNA.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
It is what DNA stands for.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The three parts of a nucleotide.
What are sugar, phosphate, and a base?
Proteins are made up of these molecules.
What are amino acids?
The second step of DNA replication.
What is new nucleotides with complementary bases are added to the exposed bases on the original strands?
The American that helped to discover the shape of DNA.
Who is James Waston?
Structures that DNA is coiled into before mitosis.
What are chromosomes?
They are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA.
What are adenine, guanine. cytosine and thymine?
The cells that pass DNA from parents to offspring.
What are gametes? (Eggs and sperm)
A nucleotide with a thymine base is connected to a nucleotide with this base.
What is adenine?
The place where the two discoverers of the double helix studied.
What is Cambridge?
The organelles where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes?
The type of sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
DNA is the instructions for putting together these molecules.
What are proteins?
The name of the enzyme that breaks the bonds between the nitogen bases during DNA replication.
What is helicase?
The American physicist who thought the structure of DNA was a triple helix.
Who is Linus Pauling?
The name of the enzyme that connects the nucleotides to the exposed nitrogen bases during replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
