These researchers discovered that the components of DNA are arranged in a "Double Helix" Shape
Who are Watson and Crick?
100
The process by which DNA replicates, keeping one "old" strand of DNA and using it as the template for the "new" strand of DNA.
What is semi-conservative replication?
100
This is the product of Transcription.
What is mRNA?
100
This is the final product of translation.
What is protein?
100
This is large scale evolutionary change, such as the formation of a new species.
What is macroevolution?
200
The direction that DNA strands run in relation to each other is referred to as
What is anti-parallel?
200
These are the names of the nitrogenous bases used in DNA.
What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine?
200
This nitrogenous base replaces Thymine in RNA.
What is Uracil?
200
These sequences of 3 nitrogenous bases code for an amino acid.
What are codons?
200
This is a group of populations that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
What is a species?
300
This is what happened to mice who were injected in Griffith's experiments with both rough, non-virulent strains of bacteria and smooth, heat killed virulent strains of the same bacteria.
What is death?
300
DNA strands always replicate in this direction.
What is 5' to 3'?
300
These chunks of RNA are "cut out" and not included in the strand of mRNA that leaves the nucleus.
What are introns?
300
This is the "kitchen" where protein is made.
What is rRNA?
400
Hershey and Chase discovered that this macromolecule WAS NOT responsible for transmitting genetic material.
What is protein?
400
This enzyme adds DNA nucleotides to the RNA primer.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
These nitrogenous bases are added to the front and back of the mRNA strand to protect it.
What are the cap and tail?
400
This molecule of RNA has an anticodon and an amino acid binding site, and serves as the "cook".
What is tRNA?
400
This principle states that allele frequencies in a population will remain constant assuming that mating is completely random.
What is the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
500
These rules state that DNA helices are always 3 rings wide, and that to accomplish this, purine pair with pyrmidines.
What are Chargaff's Rules?
500
These are the discontinuous fragments of DNA formed on the lagging strand.
What are Okazaki fragments?
500
This is the enzyme that does the cutting and taping of the mRNA strand in the RNA processing step.
What is a spliceosome?
500
This type of mutation occurs when strand of DNA contains the wrong letter (ex. "ATA" instead of "ATG")
What is a point mutation?
500
This process refers to the survival of a species due to the inheritance of adaptive traits.
