Structure of DNA
These molecule forms the sides (backbone) of the DNA ladder.
What is Deoxyribose and Phosphate?
The basic building block of DNA is called this
What is a Nucleotide?
This scientist discovered genetic transformation using bacteria
Who is Griffith?
Adenine pairs with which base?
What is thymine?
RNA differs from DNA because it contains this sugar
What is ribose?
These nitrogen bases pair together in DNA
What is Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine?
These are the three parts of a DNA nucleotide
What is Deoxyribose (Sugar), phosphate group, nitrogen bases?
This experiment showed that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material using viruses
What is the Hershey-Chase experiment?
Cytosine pairs with which base?
What is Guanine?
This nitrogen base replaces thymine in RNA
What is Uracil?
This type of bond holds complementary bases together
What is Hydrogen bonds?
These elements are found in nucleotides but not proteins
What is Phosphorus?
This scientist discovered base-pairing rules
Who is Chargaff?
If 30% of DNA is adenine, what percent is thymine
What is 30%?
This type of RNA carries the genetic code
What is mRNA (Messenger RNA)?
This many hydrogen bonds connect adenine and thymine
What is 2?
This element is found in both proteins and nucleotides
What is Nitrogen?
This conclusion from Griffith's experiment suggested that genetic information could be passed between bacteria
What is Transformation?
If cytosine is 15, what percentage is guanine?
What is 15%?
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome
What is tRNA (transfer RNA)?
This shape describes the structure of DNA
What is a Double helix?
Because nucleotides contain phosphorus, while proteins do not, scientists concluded that this was the genetic material
What is DNA?
These two scientists built the first correct DNA model
Who are Watson and Crick?
If adenine is 25, thymine, guanine, and cytosine together would equal this percent
What is 75%?
This type of RNA makes up the ribosome
What is RNA (ribosomal RNA)?
