DNA Structure and Function
100

The process that Frederick Griffith discovered from his experiments with mice

What is transformation?

100
This is the word for the shape of DNA
What is a double-helix?
100

This is the place where DNA replication happens.

What is the nucleus?

100

DNA needs to be replicated before these processes. 

What are mitosis and meiosis?

200

This scientists established the following rules:

1. A always pairs with T, C always pairs with G

2. There are always an equal number of purines and pyrimidines

3. General composition of DNA varies by species

Who is Chargoff?

200
The four nucleotide bases
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine?
200

DNA replication occurs during this phase of the cell cycle

What is the S phase?

200

These make up rungs of the DNA ladder.

What are nitrogenous bases?

300

These two scientists used radioactive isotopes to prove DNA is genetic material

Who are Hershey and Chase?

300
The partnering of nucleotide bases on DNA ...
What is A=T, G=C
300

This term describes the directionality of DNA

What is antiparallel?

300

These molecules make up the backbone of DNA.

What are phosphate group and sugar group?

400

Avery used enzymes to break down macromolecules. His experiments resulted in him discovering that transformation could not occur without this macromolecule. 

What is DNA?

400

DNA is read in triplet sequences known as... 

What are codons?

400

Each of the 2 nucleotide chains in DNA contains all the information because they match. This term describes the matching of the DNA strands. 

What are complementary strands?

400

These macromolecules are made of a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogenous base. They are the building blocks of DNA

What are nucleotides?

500

These two men created a model of DNA using information discovered from this female scientist's Photo 51 (Must name all 3 scientists)

Who are Watson, Crick, and Franklin?

500

The bonds between nitrogenous bases

What are Hydrogen bonds?

500

The result of DNA replication is 2 new strands of DNA. Each new strand consists of a chain of nucleotides from the orginal template strand and a newly synthesized chain of nucleotides. The phrase that describes this process is...

What is Semiconservative Replication?

500

This are the roles of DNA. (Name 3)

What is storing information, copying information, and gene expression?
