A green pea was crossed with a yellow pea and one of their offspring was yellow. What was the green peas genotype?(homozygous vs heterozygous).
What is heterozygous?

The enzyme that unzips the DNA in preparation for replication.
What is DNA helicase?

Discovered how traits were inherited on pea plants. He is also known as the father of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?

DNA bases in their groups are:
What are Purines: Adenine and Guanine, and Pyrimidines: Cytosine and Thymine
200
a cross between a gamete for two characteristics
What is a dihybrid cross?
200
Meselson and Stahl called DNA replication this because each new molecule of DNA has one side from original and one new synthesized strand.
What is semiconservative replication?
200
Developed a method to predict possible offspring of two know n genotypes and squares to predict the offspring.

Made of alternating deoxyribose sugar and phosphate in DNA
What is the DNA backbone?(walls)

The heterozygous is a blended phenotype of the two homozygous. For example if R=red, W= white, then RW= pink.
What is incomplete dominance?
300
Lagging strand is built in short segments by the DNA polymerase called...
What is the Okazaki fragment?
300
Where a DNA molecule has the same amount of Adenine as Thymine and of Cytosine as Guanine. A=T, C=G
What is Chargaff's rule?
300
Electric current used to separate DNA by size, DNA negatively charged. Helps in identifying a person to the crime.
What is gel electrophoresis?
400
Nucleotides were attached in a certain fashion with a certain kind of bond. What is the bond and fashion?
What is anti-parallel and hydrogen bonds?
400
Heterozygous shows both phenotypes. For example, R=red, W=white, RW=red and white.
What is codominance?
400
RNA molecules are produced by copying part of a nucleotide sequence of DNA, the region being read identified from promoters, into a complementary strand of RNA in this process.
What is transcription?
400
Discovered the double helix structure of DNA through x-ray crystallography. She took the famous photo 51.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
400
circular, double stranded DNA in bacteria and yeast that delivers foriegn DNA to the desired host.
What is a plasmid?

These two nucleotides have three hydrogen bonds that attach them.
What are cytosine and guanine?
500
The phenotype that is 9:3:3:1 from a dihybrid cross is resulting from which gametes being crossed?(if using x's and y's)

They provided a study that offered definite proof that DNA was the agent of transform with a bacteriophage and radioactive labeling.
Who are Hershey and Chase?
