They used the data of other scientists to determine the shape of DNA to be in the form of a Double helix in 1953.
Who is James Watson and Francis Crick?
100
This is where DNA replication takes place.
What is the nucleus?
100
A 3-base sequence of mRNA.
What is a codon?
200
The monomer of DNA
What is a nucleotide?
200
sugar and phosphate are on this part of the DNA
What is the "backbone of a DNA molecule"?
200
He is credited with the discovery that the amount of G's was roughly equal to the amount of C's (and A's with T's) in several samples of DNA.
Who is Erwin Chargaff?
200
This is where transcription takes place.
What is the nucleus?
200
A 3-base sequence found on tRNA.
What is an anticodon?
300
the 4 nitrogenous base names found in DNA
Guanine, adenine, cytosine and thymine
300
The type of bond that holds bases together in the double helix.
What is a hydrogen bond?
300
The scientist that had the transformation experiment that demonstrated the change of rough bacteria into smooth bacteria
Who is Griffith?
300
This is where translation takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
300
With RNA, A (adenine) binds with this other base.
What is U (uracil)?
400
The 3 parts of a nucleotide
What is a (nitrogenous) base, a sugar, and a phosphate group?
400
This is what you call a "G" binding with a "C" or an "A" binding with a "T".
What is a base pair? or What is complementary pair?
400
Suggested that DNA was the transforming factor. When he destroyed the DNA in bacteria, transformation did not occur.
Who is Avery?
400
This is what holds the mRNA strand in place while translation proceeds.
What is the ribosome?
400
Most of the amino acids of a protein are incorrect due to this type of mutation.
What is a frameshift mutation?
500
The study of how some of your habitats can be passed down in your DNA
What is Epigenetics?
500
The proteins which the DNA double helix winds around so that DNA can become "supercoiled".
What are histones?
500
This experiment, from 1952, used radioactive labeling to trace the DNA and proteins. It concluded that the viral DNA was injected into the cell and provided the genetic information needed to produce new viruses
Who is Hershey and Chase?
500
When mRNA is transcribed from DNA, it then slips through these to get into the cytoplasm.
