100
They are credited with discovering the structure of DNA.
What is Watson and Crick?
100
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is Double Helix?
100
Named the Father of Genetics and discovered how traits are inherited.
What is Gregor Mendel?
100
Where DNA Replication occurs.
What is nucleus?
100
Proteins that recognize and bind to specific DNA sequences, then cut the DNA within that specific sequence to allow for genetic modification. A very common example is EcoR1.
What is restriction enzymes?
200
Discovered that Adenine and Thymine, and Guanine and Cytosine go together.
What is Chargaff?
200
Adenine and Guanine are ______ which means that they only have two carbon rings as part of their structure.
What is Purines?
200
The physical expression of a trait.
What is phenotype?
200
Discovered semiconservative replication, where one side from the original strand of DNA is paired with the newly replicated strand.
What is Meselson and Stahl?
200
Total DNA present in the nucleus of each cell.
What is Genome?
300
He proved that there is such thing as a "transforming agent" by experimenting on mice with two strains of bacteria, Streptococcus Pneumonia.
What is Griffiths?
300
The term for how the nucleotides in DNA line up, causing one end to run 3' to 5', and the other to run 5' to 3'.
What is antiparallel?
300
When factors separate differently of one another during the formation of gametes, causing genetic variety.
What is Law of Independent Assortment?
300
Synthesized for the lagging strand in DNA Replication because DNA Polymerase can only add nucelotides to the 3' end. These are added to the lagging strand in sections and connected by DNA Ligase.
What is Okazaki fragments?
300
Used to make millions of copies of a specific DNA fragment in a relatively short time.
What is PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)?
400
The name of the photograph that captured the unique structure of DNA taken by Franklin.
What is Photo 51?
400
The enzymes used in DNA Replication.
What is DNA Helicase, DNA Ligase, and DNA Polymerase?
400
If a gene is represented by a capitol letter, that means it is __________.
What is dominant?
400
Give the name of the following process: RNA molecules are produced by copying part of a nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence of RNA.
What is transcription?
400
Process where an electric current is used to separate DNA segments of different sizes. Results in a DNA Fingerprint when the DNA strands spread as the electric charge pulls the fragments to the opposite end.
What is Gel Electrophoresis?
500
Finally PROVED (with unquestionable evidence) that DNA was the transforming agent by tagging DNA and proteins with a virus (radioactive labeling).
What is Hershey and Chase?
500
The structure/shape of DNA in porkaryotes (not the same as Eukaryotes).
What is circular?
500
Type of plant used by Mendel to study the inheritance of traits because it can self-fertilize or be cross-fertilized to produce many different genotypes/phenotypes.
What is pea plants?
500
DNA-RNA-Protein DNA codes for RNA which guides the synthesis of proteins.
What is Central Dogma of Biology?
500
Examples of health problems in clones.
What is shorter life span, arthritis, premature aging, too much growth, trouble breathing, etc.
