History of DNA
The two scientists who were credited for discovering the shape of DNA
Who are Watson and Crick?
The function of DNA
Is it to code for the trait of an organism?
The protein that unzips a DNA molecule during replication
What is DNA Helicase?
Type of RNA that gets coded from DNA
What is mRNA?
Type of RNA that drops off anticodons to make a protein
What is tRNA?
The scientist whose X-rays were used by Watson and Crick to find the shape of DNA
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
The shape of DNA
What is a double-helix?
The protein that removes RNA nucleotides and connects the strands of DNA
What is DNA Ligase?
Area in the cell where transcription occurs
What is the nucleus?
Area of the cell where translation occurs
Is it the ribosome?
The scientist who discovered that Adenine went with Thymine and Cytosine went with Guanine
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
The two particles that make up the DNA backbone
What are phosphate groups and deoxyribose?
The protein that connects and proofreads the nucleotides that are connected to a separated piece of DNA
The enzyme that unzips DNA for transcription and matches up RNA bases to DNA bases
What is RNA Polymerase?
The sequence of three bases carried by a tRNA so that it knows what order to go in
What is an anticodon?
The two scientists responsible for finding out that DNA is the hereditary factor
Who is Frederick Griffith and Oswald Avery?
The components of a nucleotide
What are phosphate, sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
What is an RNA Primer?
The reason why transcription happens
Is it to prevent the DNA from getting damaged?
The particle dropped off by tRNA during translation that makes up a protein
What is an amino acid?
The two scientists who proved that DNA was the hereditary molecule in viruses
Who were Hershey and Chase?
The type of bond that connects two bases
What is a hydrogen bond?
The direction DNA Polymerase moves in, making one strand of DNA harder to copy
What is 3'-5'?
The way mRNA leaves the nucleus
What are nuclear pores?
The type of RNA that makes up a ribosome
What is rRNA?
