The substances of genes
His experiments introduced the world to transformation
Who is Frederick Griffith
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
The process of copying DNA prior to cell division
What is replication
This is the process in which one strain of bacteria is changed by a gene (or genes) from another strain of bacteria
What is transformation
These are long molecules found in cell nuclei
Nucleic acids
This is the principle enzyme involved in DNA replication. It joins individual nucleotides to produce new strands of DNA.
What is DNA polymerase
A type of virus that infects bacteria
What is a bacteriophage
These are the building blocks of nucleic acids
Nucleotides
Repetitive DNA at the end of a chromosome which protect genes during replication.
What is a telomere
This is the molecule that causes transformation
What is DNA
These are the 4 nitrogenous bases are joined by covalent bonds
What are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine
In this DNA replication, proteins bond to one starting point, in two directions and separate when the cell splits.
What is Prokaryotic DNA replication.
These are the three functions of DNA?
What are storing, copying and transmitting information.
The principle that bonds in DNA can form only between A-T and G-C
What is base pairing
In this DNA replication, replication may begin in many places, moves in both directions and are checked for accuracy by proteins.
What is Eukaryotic DNA replication
