Hammerling

  • He determined that the nucleus is controlling the development of the cell

  • He used an algae cell (acetabularia)

100

DNA polymerase II

Enzyme responsible for repairing error

100

DNA ligase

joins Okazaki fragments together

100

What is the shape of DNA referred to as

Double Helix

100

What is the name of 8

Okazaki Fragment

200

Miescher

Isolated nucleic acid from pus

200

SSBPs

Prevents H-bonds from reforming

200

Replication Fork

Point of separation of the two parent DNA strands 

200

What are the two types of nucleic acids

DNA + RNA

200

What is the name of 2

DNA helicase

300

Rosalind

  • Using x-rays 

  • Either x-ray diffraction 

  • X-ray crystallography

  • Cam up with the technique to see what DNA looks like

300

DNA helicase

unwinds DNA

300

Okazaki Fragment

Small Fragments created on the lagging strand

300

What is the monomer of DNA

Nucleotide

300

What is the name of 5

RNA primase

400

Chagaff

  • Known for portions

  • A and T have to have the same percent 

  • C and G have to have the same percent 

  • Have to add up to 100%

400

Topoisomerase II

Relieve any tension on the DNA strand as it unwinds

400

DNA polymerase I

removes primers to allow DNA nucleotides to be attached

400

Identify the three parts of a nucleotide

1. phosphate groups

2. sugar

3. nitrogenous base

400

What is the name of 6

DNA polymerase III

500

Griffiths and Avery

  • Worked with mice and bacteria 

  • One was pathogenic and nonpathogenic

  • Certain cells can pass off the DNA 

500

RNA Primase

creates primers so DNA polymerase III knows where to attach 

500

DNA polymerase III

Enzyme that binds free sub units to parent strand

500

What is the polymer of DNA called

Nucleicacids

500

What is the name of 3

SSBPs
