Who made the double helix model of DNA?
Watson and Crick.
Chromosomes are composed of a combination of DNA and protein. What is that called?
Chromatin
What is the enzyme that replicates DNA?
DNA polymerase
What is the other Nucleic acid that is used in DNA replication?
RNA
Process of building and reading code?
Translation
Who showed that DNA is the genetic material?
Henry and Chase
What are the monomers of DNA called?
Polynucleotides
What is it called when DNA replicates and each new double helix consists of one old and one new?
Semi-Conservative Replication
What is it called when a gene must first be copied in the nucleus?
Transcription
What is the RNA which carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome?
Messenger RNA
Who discovered the base pairing rules?
Watson and Crick
Central Dogma of Biology?
DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is translated to protein.
What is the "One gene, one polypeptide" hypothesis?
Where does mRNA go?
Ribosome
RNA which is part of the ribosome?
Ribosomal RNA
Beadle and Tatum
Three parts of nucleotides?
Sugar, Base, Phosphate group.
Base Pairing rules
A pairs with T, C pairs with G.
What is the enzyme that builds the new RNA strand?
RNA polymerase.
RNA that brings the new amino acids into the ribosome when translation is happening.
Transfer
What did Franklin and Wilkins do?
Take a DNA picture that proved it was a double helix.
What is the structure of the DNA strand?
Sugar-phosphate backbone with bases.
What is the difference between RNA and DNA?
Sugars
3 letter "words" that transcription creates?
